Abstract:
In this study, we proposed a novel method to extract pore pressure model parameters from vertical array seismic records and pore water pressure data, building upon the existing method for estimating in-situ soil dynamic parameters. Using the extracted in-situ soil properties, one-dimensional effective stress analysis is conducted in DEEPSOIL to reproduce and predict the nonlinear ground response and pore pressure variations at the Wildlife Liquefaction Array, California. Our results show that: (1) the increase and dissipation process of excess pore water pressure can be well empirically modeled using the Hill Equation and an exponential decay function, respectively; (2) the simulated ground response and pore pressure variations using in-situ soil properties are consistent with the observations, which demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of using in-situ soil properties to predict pore pressure variations during strong motions; (3) effective stress analysis does not outperform total stress analysis in ground response analysis when the excess pore water pressure ratio (ru) is no greater than 0.6, but can be used to evaluate the potential for liquefaction triggering; (4) when simulated ru > 0.9, there are clear differences between the simulated ground motions using total stress and effective stress analyses at this site. © 2025
