Description of the research topic:
Research on small-strain soil behavior has become more important in modelling both static and dynamic behavior of geotechnical structures and foundations. Several methods are available to determin such behavior, including laboratory testing and field exploration. We have developed laboratory tests inclucing resonant column, torsional simple shear and cyclic triaxial methods to better understand small-strain behavior. However, less is understood about the effects of measurment inaccuracies and natural variability of material properties on small-strain behavior. This becomes even more pronounced where necessary simplifications are adopted for numerical modelling.
Studies in this topic area will incorporate laboratory and field testing and data collection to better quantify the magnitudes of uncertainty in material properties and their natural variability. Further numerical modelling of typical sites will provide better understanding of the effects of such variability on seismic site response and soil-structure interaction.
The applicant should have a full understanding of soil testing in the laboratory as well as application of soil behavior models in numerical modelling.
