PROBABILISTIC EVALUATION OF SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION IN LIQUEFACTION. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NUMERICAL METHODS IN GEOMECHANICS, 11-15 APRIL 1988, INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA. VOLUMES 1 - 3

A method is proposed here to estimate structural damage considering the generation and dissipation characteristics of excess pore water pressure generated due to earthquake shaking. Anisotropic stress is used in the formulation. The residual and consolidation settlement are estimated accordingly. The information on differential settlement is used to develop a damage criterion. The influence of structural rigidity on the structural damage potential is also evaluated. A probabilistic model is developed to study the risk of structural damage since a considerable amount of uncertainty is associated with most of the parameters in the model. The methodology is illustrated with the help of an example. (Author/TRRL)
