Experimental Study of Seismic Soil-Structure Interaction by using Large Geotechnical Centrifuge System

摘要

The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical data concerning soil-structure interaction and basemat uplift phenomenon, focusing on nuclear power plants built on a hard rock site. Two kinds of vibration tests by using a large geotechnical centrifuge system, which could realize contact pressure almost same as that of real plants with a miniature building model, are performed. Through this experimental study, beneficial knowledge concerning soil-structure interaction and basemat uplift was obtained.
