Comprehensive nonlinear seismic ground response analysis of sensitive clays: case study—Leda clay in Ottawa, Canada

Abstract: A series of time domain nonlinear and frequency domain equivalent-linear ground response analysis was conducted for a representative site in Ottawa, Canada. The objective is to provide insight into the performance of different site response analysis approaches in predicting site amplification factors for the soft soil deposit over a wide range of shear strain. The surficial geology of the site is predominantly composed of the sensitive Leda Clay typical of this region in eastern Canada. A combination of result… Show more

“…Garini et al [8] investigated soil amplification in three sites during the Tokachi-Oki earthquake using the SHAKE and two nonlinear programs. Torabi and Rayhani [9] conducted a number of site response analyses in both nonlinear time-domain and equivalent-linear frequency-domain methods for a site in Canada. The results suggested that the nonlinear analysis would provide a more reliable prediction of ground motion at the natural site period.…”

“…In practice, the associated flow is a more popular and convenient approach than nonassociated flow, and has been used extensively for all types of materials including metals, soil, rock and concrete. For dynamic soil analysis too, it has been successfully implemented in many studies [16,25,28,145,147]. Despite the popularity of the associated flow rule, it is not always considered to be the best for soil models.…”
