Seismic Resilience with Deep Soil Mixing: Numerical and Experimental Insights into Liquefaction Mitigation
摘要
Soil liquefaction is a significant cause of damage to buildings and structures during earthquakes, with several hazards, including ground failure, lateral spreading, soil oscillation, sand boiling, loss of bearing capacity, and settlement. Various soil improvement techniques aim to enhance the mechanical properties of soil, increasing bearing capacity, reducing volumetric deformations, and providing predictable soil behavior. This study examines the effectiveness of deep soil mixing (DSM) columns in reducing liquefaction hazards beneath raft foundations using a three-dimensional finite element method in the Midas GTS NX environment. The influence of DSM column (individual and wall) arrangements, diameter, height, and area improvement ratio on the foundation in reducing liquefaction potential and specifically excesss pore water pressure has been studied.
