Abstract

Foundation failure due to liquefaction induced by earthquakes is a major hazard that causes casualties as well as significant damage to the buildings. Based on some previous research and studies, anisotropy of the fabric of soil grains plays an important role in dynamic soil response. However, there are few data recorded during earthquakes in the field about seismic response of foundations, let alone realistic ones that can be used to analyze the influence of soil anisotropy. In this study, twelve centrifuge tests were conducted to investigate the influence of soil anisotropy on seismic response of foundations.
