Abstract
A fully coupled nonlinear dynamic numerical approach and an advanced constitutive model have been implemented in a three dimensional finite element computer code to predict the response of saturated porous media under different types of loading conditions including earthquake loading. The formulation and implementation are already verified and validate, and were then applied to the problem of sand liquefaction and cyclic mobility phenomena for investigation on a specific configuration of layered soil column, where liquefaction of the deeper loose elements prevents transmission of earthquake induced shear stresses to the upper layers.
