Investigation of the Effect of Timber Bundle Installation Spacing on Liquefaction Mitigation Through Small-Scale Shaking Table Tests

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate how the spacing of timber bundles affects liquefaction mitigation.
• Conducted shaking table tests to assess liquefaction effects.
• Utilized insertion resistance measurements to evaluate timber bundle performance.
• Tested different spacings of timber bundle installations for comparative analysis.
• Observed ground subsidence reduction when using timber bundles for liquefaction mitigation.
• Ground subsidence reduction was more significant than density increase.
• Smaller spacing of timber bundles led to larger increases in insertion resistance and input acceleration.
