LEAP-UCD-2017 Numerical Simulation at Meisosha Corp

As a part of the LEAP-UCD-2017 project, type B simulations were performed to predict the results of nine selected centrifuge model tests using a two-dimensional effective stress analysis program incorporating the cocktail glass model. In Phase I of the numerical simulation, three parameter sets of the cocktail glass model were determined for three different dry densities. In Phase II, numerical models of the finite element method were made based on the data of the centrifuge model. At that time, for each centrifuge model test, we decided which parameter set of the cocktail glass model to apply by referring to the dry density of the analyzed ground. There was a tendency that the response values of the numerical simulation were slightly larger than the response values expected from the difference between the achieved dry density of the centrifuge model and the dry density on which the applied parameter set depends.
