Centrifuge modelling with an equivalent mixed model for liquefaction response of deep sand ground

Key Points

• Liquefaction response is significantly altered by the application of centrifuge modelling techniques, demonstrating clear impacts on ground response.
• A critical component of this analysis involved the integration of a mixed model approach, yielding more accurate predictions of liquefaction in various scenarios.
• Centrifuge modelling was utilized to simulate real-world liquefaction conditions while observing the behavior of deep sand, enhancing understanding of ground dynamics.
• Implications suggest that improved modelling techniques could enhance the safety and reliability of structures placed on deep sand in liquefaction-prone areas.
