Calibration Sites for Validation of Nonlinear Geotechnical Models

Research by U.C. Los Angeles, Prof. Jonathan P. Stewart       

Sponsored by Caltrans, CEC, PG&E and the PEER Lifelines Program



 

Project Objectives:  The PEER Lifelines program is sponsoring a series of integrated research projects to calibrate and further develop existing nonlinear geotechnical models for ground response analysis. The global project objectives are:

(1)   To identify the intensity measures and shaking conditions for which the inclusion of ground response calculations of any type in hazard analyses is beneficial,

(2)  To identify conditions where nonlinear analyses provide a tangible benefit relative to equivalent linear analyses, and

(3)  To provide specific recommendations for the implementation of nonlinear models in design practice.

This web site contains data for “calibration sites” that will be used in these projects. Included for each site is the following information: (1) geotechnical data such as stratigraphy, soil types, and small-strain shear wave velocity profiles; (2) strong motion recordings from the site; (3) a reference set of carefully chosen control motions for use as input in ground response analyses; and (4) Modulus reduction and damping curves used in SHAKE analysis for each site.

 

1Engineering model means our interpretation of modulus reduction and damping curves and shear wave velocities used in the analyses.
