Abstract

Liquefaction Experiments and Analysis Projects (LEAP) aim to use simple centrifuge modeling tests to validate and calibrate the numerical modeling results. In LEAP-UCD-2017 project, the design and specification of the model are quite uncomplicated than that of the earlier stage of LEAP. The model stored in a rigid container was construted by medium dense sand with 5 degrees of slope and subjected to a 1-Hz sinusoidal wave of base motion. Models were built, tested and cross-validated by many different research institutes. This paper describes in detail the result of experiments carried at National Central University (NCU), Taiwan (R.O.C.) This paper describes in details the unique part of the experiments at NCU.
