title = "Effect of fabric anisotropy on seismic response of strip foundations",
abstract = "Failure of strip foundations induced by earthquake has been widely observed in the field. Fabric anisotropy of sand due to the deposition history and pattern may affect the response of strip foundations in seismic bearing capacity and settlement. In this study, eight earthquake centrifuge tests were performed on models of a strip foundation to study the seismic response of strip foundation with base layer deposited by different angles. A special rigid container was designed and used to prepare models with different directions of soil deposition. It was found that fabric anisotropy greatly influenced the response of the ground and structure in displacement, acceleration, and excess pore pressure. It shows that conventional design method should consider the influence of deposition history and pattern, which significantly affected the seismic bearing capacity and settlement of strip foundations.",
