267 APPENDIX E-4 Owi Island Site — Case Study Site Response in the 1985 M 6.2 Chiba-Ibaragi Earthquake General This Appendix presents results of numerical modeling of the response of the Owi Island site in the 1985 M 6.2 Chiba-Ibaragi earthquake. Owi Island was constructed through the hydraulic deposition of sand, silt, and gravel over natural soil layers of clay, silt, and sand. As analyzed herein (acceleration history was recorded at 10 m b.g.s.), this case history is representative of a shallow soil profile site. Soil profile at the site is liquefiable, as identified by screening. The analysis documented herein was performed in general accordance with the “Guidance for Effective-Stress Site Response Analysis” outlined in Section 8.2 of the main report. Relevant information about recorded ground motions is provided in Appendix B-2. Model Selection Table E-1 lists the software and constitutive models used to calculate response of the Owi Island site in the 1985 M 6.2 Chiba-Ibaragi earthquake. Detailed information about the selected software is provided in Section 4.2 of the main report. Detailed information about the selected constitutive models (CMs) is provided in Section 4.3 of the main report. Table E-1. Selected Software and CMs SHAKE2000 D-MOD2000 FLAC OpenSeesPL S-I MKZ LE-MC PM4SAND UBCSAND UCSDSAND3 UCSDSAND3 UCSDCLAY PM4SAND PM4SILT LE-MC = Linear Elastic-Mohr Coulomb (also total stress analysis); S-I = Seed – Idriss equivalent-linear model. See Appendix A-2 for references and detailed information about CMs used herein. Software listed in this table was run either its native 1D mode (SHAKE2000 and D-MOD2000) or in a simulated 1D mode (FLAC, and OpenSeesPL). Chiba-Ibaragi Earthquake and Ground Motions Relevant information about the 1985 M 6.2 Chiba-Ibaragi earthquake and ground motions induced at the site is reproduced from Appendix B-3 in Table E-2.

Site Exploration and Characterization Relevant information about the site, including site location and layout, results of site characterization efforts, and relevant earthquake and Strong Motion information is provided in the site characterization report that is enclosed as Appendix B-2. The silty fine sand layer with Pore Water Pressure (PWP) transduced P2 in the middle has been identified as the “critical” layer by screening. (a) (b) Figure E-1. Owi Island Site - Interpreted Soil Profile with Location of Strong Motion Instruments. Measured Shear Wave Velocity is from Ishihara et al. (1987). Advanced Laboratory Testing and Interpretation of the Results Table E-3 summarizes information on the available results of advanced laboratory testing of silty fine sand (applicable to all sands in the profile). Dynamic properties of silt were not measured. More information about this testing and how properties of silt were estimated is provided in Appendix B-2.

MRD = Modulus Reduction and Damping (curves). Element Testing Table E-4 lists the results of CM sub-model testing, i.e., fitting of the modulus reduction and damping curves.

SRA Model Development The site response analysis model of the Owi Island site is presented in Figure E-1. It includes idealized soil stratification, groundwater elevation, and an interpreted shear wave velocity profile (red line; corresponds to layering as input in the SRA model). Input motion was applied as an “outcrop” motion in SHAKE2000 and OpenSeesPL analyses. In D-MOD2000, the transmitting base option was used. In FLAC, the applied shear stress history option was used. Program (i.e., SRA software) names are further obscured are obscured for administrative reasons. The basic material properties, i.e., material properties that are not software-specific are provided for each layer in the Attachment.

271 System Testing Figure E-4 documents the process of system testing (i.e., model testing at the soil profile level) for D-MOD2000 and OpenSeesPL. Upon completion of the system testing, for both programs, the Rayleigh damping model parameters assessed were fine-tuned in an iterative process. The Rayleigh damping model parameter (n) and the target viscous damping (D) selected for evaluation of the Owi Island site response to the 1985 M 6.2 Chiba-Ibaragi earthquake correspond to spectra indicated in “black” in Figure E-4. They are identical and were also used for calculations with FLAC. (a) Program 2 (MKZ) (b) Program 4 (UCSDSAND3) (c) Program 4 (PM4SAND) Figure E-4. System Testing with Program 2 and Program 4.

There are many seismic site response analysis programs that operate in either the time domain or the frequency domain. These programs are available as public domain software, as commercial products, and/or through direct contact with the authors.

NCHRP Web-Only Document 383: Seismic Site Response Analysis with Pore Water Pressure Generation: Resources for Evaluation, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, is supplemental to NCHRP Research Report 1092: Seismic Site Response Analysis with Pore Water Pressure Generation: Guidelines.

Supplemental to the document is an Implementation Plan.
