Abstract

Numerical analyses of dry sand beds subjected to earthquake shaking, on a geotechnical centrifuge and on a shaking table have been performed using finite elements. Elastic soil parameters have been deduced from experimental frequency responses. Conclusions are drawn concerning the level of complexity of soil model that is required to reproduce the observed features of response of the physical models.
