Liquefaction-Induced Building Performance
Thursday 10th August 2017 Room K208, K Block (Kahakura) Ara Institute of Canterbury Madras Street Christchurch Refreshments 5.30pm Presentation 6.00pm
Liquefaction-Induced Building Performance Connor P. Hayden, Ph.D.
University of Auckland
The performance of buildings affected by liquefaction depends on the complex interaction between the structure, soil, and ground motion. In urban environments, the presence of closely spaced adjacent structures further complicates the performance. Geotechnical centrifuge experiments provide an opportunity to control key parameters and carefully record the response of the soil and structure. This presentation summarizes a centrifuge test focused on the structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) of adjacent structures founded on liquefiable ground. The use of these results in future numerical modelling efforts examining liquefactioninduced SSI and SSSI will also be discussed. Connor Hayden recently joined the University of Auckland as a geotechnical engineering lecturer. His Ph.D. at UC Berkeley involved three projects related to structure-soil-structure interaction including liquefaction and ground motion characterization. Before joining the University of Auckland, he spent several years performing earthquake engineering analyses for complex industry projects while at Fugro.
