Abstract

Forced vibration tests and detailed site characterization were performed at a geotechnical experimental site in Yong-jong Island where Inchon International Airport being constructed. The vibratory motions generated by the combination of hydraulic hammer compaction and dynamic compaction were monitored by 3-component velocity transducers in the down hole array as well as on the ground surface. Spectral analyses of the recorded vibratory motions were performed to evaluate the resonant frequencies of the experimental site. The linear analysis and simplified method were also performed to evaluate the resonant frequencies of the experimental site based on the results of detailed site investigation. The resonant frequencies of the experimental site evaluated by spectral analyses based on forced vibration tests were in good agreement with those of the linear analysis and the simplified method.

Site Response Analysis Using Forced-Vibration Tests on Hydraulic-Filled Soil Deposit

San Diego, California

Forced vibration tests and detailed site characterization were performed at a geotechnical experimental site in Yong-jong Island where Inchon International Airport being constructed. The vibratory motions generated by the combination of hydraulic hammer compaction and dynamic compaction were monitored by 3-component velocity transducers in the down hole array as well as on the ground surface. Spectral analyses of the recorded vibratory motions were performed to evaluate the resonant frequencies of the experimental site. The linear analysis and simplified method were also performed to evaluate the resonant frequencies of the experimental site based on the results of detailed site investigation. The resonant frequencies of the experimental site evaluated by spectral analyses based on forced vibration tests were in good agreement with those of the linear analysis and the simplified method.
