  10. Caltrans’ current practice per Memo to Designer 20-15. Crust 0.67 PULT Liquefied Dense • liquefied soil modeled as factored p-y curves (0.10 p-multiplier) • 67% of the ultimate passive crust load is applied to the cap • no inertial loads are considered • performance criteria: piles remain elastic

  11. Issues the Guidelines Team sought to address… Fill Liquefiable Soil Dense Soil • Crust load–deformation behavior. How much deformation to reach ultimate passive pressure? Adjustments for non-plane strain behavior. • Prediction of crust displacement. • Potential restraining effect of the foundation. • Potential restraining effect of the superstructure. • Contribution of inertial loads to the foundation displacement demand. • More specific performance criteria

  12. The team must confront challenging issues… Pile pinning effect Crust – pile cap interaction Residual strength Static vs. dynamic loading Estimation of crust displacement Kinematic and inertial load combination

  13. Strategy: Where possible, rely on test results. NIED Shake Table: Elgamal (2003) UC Davis centrifuge: Boulanger, Chang, Brandenberg, Armstrong, and Kutter (2006)

  14. Field testing… Port of Takachi Tests by Ashford (2002)

  15. Extend test results with numerical modeling… Fill in gapswith judgment… + +

  16. Caltrans Guidelines Limitations “Since every project has unique aspects, these guidelines should not be used to constrain or replace engineering judgment.” Software Options Nonlinear moment-stiffness behavior: xSECTION, XTRACT, LPILE 5, others… Soil-foundation interaction: LPILE 5, wFRAME, SAP2000 Slope stability: most commercial codes – no special requirements

  17. Caltrans Guidelines Two design cases considered… Fill Liquefiable Soil Dense Soil Foundation restrained ground displacement Unrestrained ground displacement

  18. Caltrans Guidelines Unrestrained ground displacement case: Equivalent Nonlinear Static Analysis Approach Crust loads applied through imposed soil displacement profile 1 mp = 0.0031N + 0.00034N2 1 Fultbased on log-spiral solution fdepth pgroup =(psingle)(Npiles)(mp) or pgroup =(psoft clay)(Npiles) fwidth 0 Adjustment for wedge effect by Ovensen (1964). Kw ~ 1.3 0 (Zc –D)/T 3 Matlock pgroup =(psingle)(Npiles)(GRF) Matlock (74) soft clay p-y model with Su = Sres and e50 = 0.05 0 0 WT/T 14 LPILE 5 is limited to a single pile analysis

  19. Caltrans Guidelines Unrestrained ground displacement case: Equivalent Nonlinear Static Analysis Approach Crust loads applied through imposed soil displacement profile Pile stiffness Linear case: EIgroup =(EIsingle)(Npiles) Nonlinear case: (See plot…) Mmax (fa,Ma) Stiffness (EI) fa= 12 fy Ma = 1.1 Mmax Moment Moment fy Curvature fa LPILE 5 is limited to a single pile analysis

  20. Caltrans Guidelines Unrestrained ground displacement case: Equivalent Nonlinear Static Analysis Approach Crust loads applied through imposed soil displacement profile xi Kax,ni Class 100 pile: Kax = 0.75 (400 kips) / 0.25 in = 1200 kips/in LPILE 5 is limited to a single pile analysis

  21. Caltrans Guidelines Unrestrained ground displacement case: Equivalent Nonlinear Static Analysis Approach Crust loads applied through imposed soil displacement profile Inertial Loads H Mo Vi = H Mi=Mo(LPILE 5: Mi Mo V Fcapi=0.65 PGA mcap 0 ) Abutment Case: assume inertial loadsare zero LPILE 5 is limited to a single pile analysis

  22. Caltrans Guidelines Unrestrained ground displacement case: Equivalent Nonlinear Static Analysis Approach Crust loads applied through imposed soil displacement profile Combination of kinematic and inertial loading Combination of kinematic and inertial loading LPILE 5 is limited to a single pile analysis

  23. Caltrans Guidelines Performance Criteria

  24. Caltrans Guidelines Guideline availability and adoption: The new guidelines will be available on the Geotechnical Services and Office of Earthquake Engineering websites Guidelines official adoption date has not yet been determined.
