Abstract

In this paper a semi-analytical iteration method for predicting the seismic pore-water pressure generation and dissipation in saturated sand layers is suggested. The fundamental formulae including three general analytical solutions under the condition of the 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D dissipation and the calculation principle are briefly presented, and then the suggested method is used in predicting the generation and dissipation of seismic pore water pressure in the 1-D saturated sand layers as an example. The suggested method provides the possibility to consider at a certain extent the change characteristics in permeability and volumetric strain of sand during the seismic action and the effect of earthquake wave pattern and its intensity on generation-dissipation regulations of the seismic pore water pressure.

Semi-analytical Iteration Algorithm of Seismic Pore Pressure
