... 328 APPENDIX E-7 Centrifuge Experiment Response of Laminar Box that Simulates WLA Site in M 7.1 Earthquake General The centrifuge experiment designed to fill-in a "void" within the suite of case histories available. In particular, it was designed to simulate response at a relatively shallow liquefiable site shaken by a very strong ground motion.
From page 329...
... 329 Software listed in this table was run either its native 1D mode (SHAKE2000 and D-MOD2000) or in a simulated 1D mode (FLAC, PLAXIS, and OpenSeesPL)
From page 331...
... 331 The WLA clay and silty sand was remolded and placed in the UNH laminar box using the procedures presented in Appendix C-1. The results of advanced testing of remolded samples of these soils, as presented in Appendix C-3, were not usable.

From page 334...
... 334 The input motion was applied as a "within" motion in SHAKE2000 and OpenSeesPL analyses and as rigid boundary in D-MOD2000. In FLAC, the applied acceleration history option was used.
