A Computer Program for Dynamic Response of Layered Saturated Sands.

Abstract

The Engineering Approach to dynamic response analysis of saturated sand deposits is investigated. The logic on which the methodology is based is described and implemented in a computer program. Application of the procedure to obtain dynamic response of a saturated sand layer, including pore pressure, shear stress, and acceleration variations under two different ground excitation histories given. Two alternative numerical procedures are investigated. The results are compared with those reported by Finn. Limitations of the approach are discussed. Originator-supplied keywords: Computer Simulation, Dynamic Response, Explosion Effects, Finite Difference Method, Layered Sands, Seepage, Liquefaction, and Seismic Response.
