Although there exists some consensus regarding seismic soil liquefaction triggering assessment of free field soil sites, assessing liquefaction triggering potential beneath building foundations still stays as a controversial and a difficult issue. Liquefaction triggering potential under building foundations is affected by both the static and cyclic stress state of the soil medium. As part of these studies, conventionally used normalized cyclic demand term, cyclic stress ratio corrected for Kα and K α effects adjacent to and under building foundations are to be estimated. For this purpose series of 3-D numerical simulations have been performed for a number of generic soil-structure systems. A representative CSR value, CSRSSEI,rep varying with depth was defined, which has potential use in assessing liquefaction-induced bearing capacity failures. Then a simplified, semi empirical procedure was recommended for the estimation of CSRSSEI,rep values which was further calibrated through the results of 3-D numerical simulations. Good match between the predictions of the recommended semi-empirical procedure and the results of numerical simulations are concluded to be convincing and promising for the assessment of liquefaction triggering potential for foundation soils. © 2008 ASCE.

Assessment of soil structure earthquake interaction induced soil liquefaction triggering Unutmaz, Berna; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Although there exist some consensus regarding seismic soil liquefaction assessment of free field soil sites, estimating the liquefaction triggering potential beneath building foundations still stays as a controversial and difficult issue. Assessing liquefaction triggering potential under building foundations requires the estimation of cyclic and static stress state of the soil medium. For the purpose of assessing the effects of the presence of a structure three-dimensional, finite difference-based total str...
Assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering beneath building foundation systems Çetin, Kemal Önder; Jeremic, Boris (2012-12-01) Although there exist some consensus on seismic soil liquefaction assessment of free field level soil sites, estimating liquefaction triggering potential beneath foundations still stays as a controversial and difficult issue. Assessing liquefaction triggering potential under mat foundations requires the estimation of cyclic and static stresses and the state of the soil medium. As part of these studies, conventionally used normalized cyclic demand term, cyclic stress ratio, is to be estimated addressing the s...
An integrated seismic hazard framework for liquefaction triggering assessment of earthfill dams' foundation soils Ünsal Oral, Sevinç; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Within the confines of this study, seismic soil liquefaction triggering potential of a dam foundation is assessed within an integrated probabilistic seismic hazard assessment framework. More specifically, the scheme presented hereby directly integrates effective stress-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering assessment with seismic hazard analysis framework, supported by an illustrative case. The proposed methodology successively, i) processes the discrete stages of probabilistic seismic hazard workflow ...
Effective stress based constitutive modelling and assessment of seismic pile-soil interaction in liquefiable soils Ünsal Oral, Sevinç; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) The assessment of liquefaction-induced deformations of foundation soils located in seismically active regions has been a major concern for geotechnical earthquake engineers. Inspite of the existing efforts, the prediction of these deformations has remained a "soft" area of practice. Inspired by this gap, a new fully coupled, two-dimensional, effective stress-based, nonlinear and simplified constitutive model, referred to as METUSAND, is developed. As a part of the model development efforts, a “C++” subrouti...
Assessment of the effectiveness of a rockfall ditch through 3-D probabilistic rockfall simulations and automated image processing AKIN, MUTLUHAN; DİNÇER, İSMAİL; OK, ALİ ÖZGÜN; ORHAN, AHMET; AKIN, MÜGE; Topal, Tamer (2021-03-01) Rockfall ditches or catchment areas aim to collect falling blocks at the toe of a source zone by dissipating the energy of blocks in an excavated trench. The effectiveness of a rockfall ditch is simply expressed by its block catchment performance and can be evaluated by empirically using existing design charts as well as rockfall simulations. Although 2-dimensional (2-D) analysis has been executed to assess the catchment ditch effectiveness in engineering practice, 3-dimensional (3-D) rockfall models have n...
