Applicability of Similitude Law for 1-g shaking table tests
1-g 진동대 모형시험에서의 상사법칙 적용성 평가
Abstract
Shaking table model tests are performed to reproduce the dynamic behavior of a gravity quay wall and a pile-supported wharf damaged by Kobe earthquake in 1995. Using the scaling relations suggested by Scott and Iai(1989), the results of the model tests are compared with field measurements as well as with those of the model tests previously executed. The displacements of the gravity quay wall predicted by the current model tests are, at most, one third of the measured displacements, while the displacements of the model pile-supported wharf are about two thirds of the measured values. One possibility for the discrepancy is speculated to be the use of too big scaling factor, i.e., too small size of model.
