23 More recent research into G/G max and D (Darendeli 2001, Menq 2003) see page 1 of Excel spreadsheet for actual G/G max and D values 23
24 Notation on previous page: OCR = Overconsolidation ratio (highest ever past effective vertical stress divided by the current vertical effective stress PI = Plasticity Index (PI = LL-PL), where LL = Liquid Limit and PL is Plastic limit 0 - Nonplastic (1-5)- Slightly plastic (5-10) - Low plasticity (10-20)- Medium plasticity (20-40)- High plasticity >40 Very high plasticity Frq = dominant stress-strain cyclic loading frequency of interest (e.g., 1 Hz or 2 Hz or so) Note: Damping is reported as a % (this is why, a 100 appears in the equation) 24
25 Menq s Equations (Sands and Gravels, developed in 2003) G max = P1 C e P2 u σ 1.3+ ( D 50 o ' P a / P5) P 6 Coefficients Suggested by Menq, 2003 P3 C Note: This equation will over-estimate G max for particles with D 50 greater than 10mm (or more generally, particles greater than 1 in in diameter (range of what Dr. Menq tested so far, personal communication) P 4 u Note: e = void ratio Coefficient of Uniformity: C u = D 60 /D 10 where, D 60 is the grain diameter at 60% passing, and D 10 is the grain diameter at 10% passing (by weight) P1 (ksf) 1400 P2-0.2 P P P5 20 P
26 A different way of writing this equation yields: Older versions (below) are shown in the spreadsheet G max = σ ' C o G 1 Pa n G x = ( D P6 50 / P5) 26

28 see page 2 of Excel spreadsheet (Menq, Personal communications. for actual G/G max and D values 28
29 Related to the Excel Spreadsheet (from: Menq, Farn-Yuh, Ph. D.): Note: Please consider using Darendeli s model if PI is greater than 0, and Menq s model if PI = 0. The first page of the spreadsheet is for Darendeli s model (2001). You can input the following values to obtain G/Gmax and Damping curves: frq(hz) PI OCR σo' (atm) The second page of spreadsheet is the equation of the Menq model (2003). G/Gmax and Damping curves for different soils with different Cu is presented in the following 4 spreadsheets. Note: Cu is the Uniformity Coefficient (measure of the particle size range) Cu is also known as the Hazen Coefficient Cu = D60/D10 Cu < Very Uniform Cu = Medium Uniformity Cu > Non-uniform Note: On the Menq (2003) page, if you change the the C u =2 to C u = 30 for instance, you will find the corresponding values of G/G max and D% in the page of C u =2. For instance if you change the C u =2 to C u = 30, in the G/G max or D summary pages, you will see the C u =2 now falls on the C u = 30 curve. Also note that some values in the Menq (2003) page only affect G max itself such as the void ratio e See also: (link to Dr. Menq s PhD Thesis) 29
30 In order to calculate equivalent linear properties from nonlinear shear stress strain behavior, consider the widely employed Hyperbolic stressstrain relationship: 30
31 The hyperbolic shear stress-strain relationship Equivalent Linear properties: Secant modulus Ref: Soil Behavior in Earthquake Geotechnics, K. Ishihara, Ch 3, pages Change in secant shear modulus with shear strain amplitude Change in Damping D with shear strain amplitude or in terms of G/G max At large shear strain, D eventually reaches a max of 2/π = (63.7% damping) 31
32 For numerical implementation of a nonlinear hyperbolic relationship, γ r may be selected based on the Menq or Darendeli Equations, and the Shear strength S u would then correspond to a shear strain γ max : Or, Using this γ r, G/G max and D can be calculated from the equations above marked with a (as implemented in the Hyperbolic Excel Spreadsheet) Notes: 1. In terms of γ max, γ r can be written as: 2. s u = c + p sin φ where c is cohesion (S u for c-soils), p is effective confinement, and φ is friction angle 32

37 Prof. Ellen M. Rathje, Ph.D., P.E. Strata Developed by Albert Kottke and Ellen Rathje Strata performs one-dimensional linear-elastic and equivalent-linear (SHAKE-type) site response analyses using time series or random vibration theory ground motions. Strata allows for stochastic variation of the site properties, including the shear-wave velocity, layer thicknesses, depth to bedrock, and shear modulus reduction and material damping curves.the program can be installed as a desktop application or run within the NEES cyberinfrastructure platform, NEEShub. Strata can be downloaded from the NEEShub at Strata. SigmaSpectra Developed by Albert Kottke and Ellen Rathje SigmaSpectra is a computer program that selects suites of of earthquake ground motions from a library of ground motions such that the median of the suite matches a target response spectrum at all defined periods. The program also scales the suite such that the standard deviation fits the target standard deviation.the program can be installed as a desktop application or run within the NEES cyberinfrastructure platform, NEEShub. SigmaSpectra can be downloaded from the NEEShub atsigmaspectra. 37
38 SLAMMER Developed by Randall Jibson, Ellen Rathje, Matthew Jibson, and Yong-Woo Lee SLAMMER performs a variety of sliding-block analyses to evaluate seismic slope performance. Functionalities include both rigorous and simplified analyses of rigid sliding blocks (i.e. Newmark analysis) and flexible sliding blocks (i.e. decoupled and fully coupled approaches). Rigorous analyses calculate displacement based on user-specified ground motions, while simplified analyses use empirical regression relationships to predict displacement based on ground motion parameters (e.g., peak ground acceleration). The nonlinear response of the soil within the flexible sliding blocks can be taken account through the equivalent-linear approximation. A large database of recorded ground motions from the PEER Ground Motion Database are included with the program or users can import their own ground motion for analysis. The program can be installed as a desktop application or run within the NEES cyberinfrastructure platform, NEEShub. Slammer can be downloaded from the USGS at SLAMMER (download) or accessed on the NEEShub at SLAMMER (NEEShub). 38

60 BridgePBEE: PBEE Analysis Framework For Bridge-Abutment-Ground Systems (2-Span Bridge) What is BridgePBEE BridgePBEE* ( BridgePBEE is a PC-based graphical pre- and post-processor (user-interface) for conducting Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) studies for bridge-ground systems (2-span single column). The three-dimensional (3D) finite element computations are conducted using OpenSees developed by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER). The analysis options available in BridgePBEE include (SI units in current version): 1) Pushover Analysis, 2) Base Input Acceleration Analysis, and 3) Full Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) Analysis. *Lu, J., Mackie, K.R., and Elgamal, A. (2011). BridgePBEE: OpenSees 3D Pushover and Earthquake Analysis of Single-Column 2-span Bridges, User Manual, Beta
61 Select PBEE Terminology IM - Intensity Measure for a given earthquake motion For any input earthquake motion, the Intensity Measures calculated by BridgePBEE include: PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration) PGV (Peak Ground Velocity) PGD (Peak Ground Displacement) D 5-95 (Strong Motion Duration) CAV (Cumulative Absolute Velocity) Arias Intensity SA (Spectral Acceleration; assuming 1 second period) SV (Spectral Velocity), SD (Spectral Displacement) PSA (Pseudo-spectral Acceleration) PSV (Pseudo-spectral Velocity) 61
62 The BridgePBEE Framework Define Bridge-abutment-ground geometry and material properties Select/Define ensembles of input earthquake ground acceleration (e.g., 100 different ground motions spanning a wide range of Intensities as defined by IM quantities such as Peak ground acceleration (PGA) or Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) Conduct individual earthquake shaking simulations for all input motions and View output in terms of Decision Variables (DVs) such as peak column drift and other similar parameters of interest displayed against any desired IM for each employed earthquake input motion. View detailed time histories of all responses of interest for any of the individual earthquake simulations (including animations of the deformed mesh, ). Use the DVs (clustered into Performance groups or PGs) variation against the IM to compute repair cost and repair time (based on pre-defined relationships that related the level of each DV to a Damage State (DS) and these Damage states associated with different levels of repair (predefined by repair quantities and associated repair times). See contribution to cost for each repair quantity, or for each Performance group as a function of the level od shaking (represented by the IM parameter). Compute total cost and repair time shown as a function of level of IM (such as PGV) For the bridge geographic location, define the expected seismic hazard. Use expected seismic hazard and define expected repair cost and time for this bridge For any possible level of shaking, see % contribution of the various performance groups (the DVs) or the Repair quantities to the overall cost or time. 62
