Abstract
The influence of spatial variability of soil properties on the results of numerical simulations of dynamically induced pore water pressure is addressed. Random media of NSPT values are generated based on in situ test results. The soil geomechanical properties are evaluated at each location, function of the NSPT values, and finite element simulations of the behavior of a horizontally layered soil subjected to seismic loading are performed. The influence of : (1) assumed distribution of the underlying random variable, (2) scale of fluctuation, and (3) finite element mesh size are discussed in terms of predicted liquefaction index and excess pore pressure build-up.
