Evaluating Finn-Byrne Model in Liquefaction Analysis of Quay Wall and Cantilevered Retaining Wall Models

Two centrifuge tests on a quay wall and cantilevered retaining with saturated granular backfills were simulated using Finn-Byrne model. Capabilities of model in liquefaction analysis the evaluated. The subjected to horizontal acceleration time history vertical history. constitutive is linear elastic – perfectly plastic Hooke’s elasticity Mohr-coulomb criterion for yield surface assumed backfill material behavior. excess porewater pressure generation, acceleration, lateral displacement, earth pressures, deformation pattern, settlements monitored compared tests’ results. results showed that adopted suitable stability displacement analyses walls walls. However, care should be taken when assessing dynamic behind stem. rest good agreement
