In order to evaluate the effects of soil box boundary conditions on the dynamic soil behavior, the Rigid Box (RB) and the Laminar Shear box (LSB) were constructed and 1 g shaking table tests were carried out for various boundary conditions. The boundary effects of the RB and the LSB were compared. To reduce the boundary effects of the RB, sponges, 5 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm in thickness, were attached to the two end sides of the RB. A model soil was constructed on flat ground, and the acceleration and amplification occurring in the center of the soil were analyzed by spectrum and peak ground acceleration. Compared with the RB, the center and wall accelerations of LSB were very close to each other. This implies that the LSB can better simulate the behavior of the infinite half space than the RB.

In order to verify the reliability of numerical analysis, a series of 1 g shaking table tests for flat ground and slope were conducted using a laminar shear box subjected to different seismic waves. Firstly, numerical analyses, using the DEEPSOIL and ABAQUS software, were done to compare the results of flat ground experiments. After that, finite element analyses with ABAQUS were conducted to compare the results of slope experiments. For numerical analyses, considering the influence of the boundary, the concept of adjusted elastic modulus was proposed to improve the simulation results. Based on the analyses, it is found that in terms of acceleration-time history and spectral acceleration, the numerical analysis results are in good agreement with the experiment results. This implies that numerical analysis can capture the dynamic behavior of soil under 1 g shaking table test conditions.

This paper focuses on the influence of frozen soil on seismic response of a building supported by pile foundation. Firstly, the saturated sand soil is frozen artificially, and then shaking table tests are conducted. Specifically, seismic responses of buildings with different natural frequencies and with different freezing depths of the saturated soil are investigated, respectively. In this study, it is confirmed that for buildings with high rigidity, the effect of interaction becomes smaller when the soil is frozen. Moreover, it is observed that the resonant frequency of frozen ground is closer to the natural frequency of superstructure, and thus the response of the superstructure becomes larger. It is also observed that the bending moment along the pile is remarkably reduced by improving the rigidity of the soil.
