Dynamic modeling of Mataquito Bridge affected by liquefaction - induced lateral spreading

The Mataquito Bridge is located at the north of the Mw 8. 8 Maule earthquake epicenter and it was selected for this study because clear evidence of liquefaction induced lateral spreading was detected at the site and the data available was enough to generate a numerical model. The numerical model was...

Dynamic modeling of Mataquito Bridge affected by liquefaction - induced lateral spreading
description The Mataquito Bridge is located at the north of the Mw 8. 8 Maule earthquake epicenter and it was selected for this study because clear evidence of liquefaction induced lateral spreading was detected at the site and the data available was enough to generate a numerical model. The numerical model was developed in the geotechnical software FLAC and includes advanced soil constitutive models, such as PM4SAND and UBCHYST, which are validated in dynamic condition. Furthermore, the soil-structure interaction is considered with the pile elements available in FLAC, via shear and normal springs. The acceleration history applied in the dynamic condition was registered in Rapel station.
