The Numerical Simulation of Behavior of Underground Structure Using E-Defense Large Shaking Table


Abstract eng:
Underground structures connected to each other are often owned by different organizations, designed under different building codes, and constructed in different periods. These differences increase the likelihood that the joints between the structures collapse during a large earthquake. In contrast, underground structures constructed without such differences usually have high seismic performance. In the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience, large shaking table tests were performed using E-Defense, which is currently the world’s largest earthquake simulator, in order to investigate the behavior of underground structures; numerical competitions were planned at that time. In this manuscript, we report on comparisons of experimental results with numerical simulations conducted using three-dimensional finite element method (3D FEM) analyses.
