ANALYTICAL PREDICTION OF EARTHQUAKE-INDUCED PERMANENT DEFORMATIONS

The paper presents an overview of the RSM (residual strain method) with emphasis on its application to the prediction of permanent displacements of foundations on sand due to earthquake shaking. Improvements and modifications, introduced since the intitial development of the method in relation with cyclic loading of offshore foundations, also are summarized and discussed. The study also checked the validity of the constitutive relationships under various boundary and drainage conditions. The overall accuracy of the method is examined through analyses of earthquake-induced permanent displacements in 3 different case studies. The details of the study are described and discussed.
