Assessment of Advanced Hypoplastic Models for Simulating the Dynamic Response of Liquefiable Sloping Ground in LEAP Experiments
摘要
The present study conducts a systematic comparative assessment of advanced hypoplastic constitutive models for simulating the seismic response of liquefiable sloping ground. Three representative models are selected for evaluation, namely the hypoplastic model with intergranular strain (HP + IS), the hypoplastic model with intergranular strain anisotropy (HP + ISA) and hypoplastic model with fabric change effect and semifluidized state (HP + SF). The study determines the material parameters for each selected hypoplastic model based on previous Type B predictions and illustrates their characteristic constitutive behaviour through element test simulations. A total of eight dynamic centrifuge tests of mildly sloping submerged sand deposits are simulated from LEAP-UCD-2017 and LEAP-Asia-2019 with a wide range of initial relative densities and excitation intensities. The finite element (FE) models are created in ABAQUS with a coupled
