1. About
Columbia Workshop
The International Workshop on Seismic Design of Reinforced Soil Structures (hereafter known as Columbia Workshop) was part of a project funded by the Geotechnical Program of the National Science Foundation, entitled “Seismic Performance and Design of Reinforced Soil Structures with Reference to Lessons Learned from the 1999 Earthquakes of Taiwan and Turkey” (P.I.s: Hoe Ling and Dov Leshchinsky; Grant No. CMS-0084449). The Workshop was a 1.5-day event with the speakers and panelists from leading institutions in the United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan and Turkey. About 40 researchers and engineers attended the Workshop.
The study on the seismic performance of reinforced soil structures has received much attention following 1995 Kobe Earthquake, and especially with the failures reported during Ji-Ji Earthquake in Taiwan. In the past years, NSF and some state DOTs have awarded a few research projects on this subject. In Japan, works were initiated by different groups of researchers at the institutions and government agencies. There have been rather limited discussions in progress among the researchers working on this subject. Therefore, there was a need to create an opportunity to learn from past experience, to be aware of the on-going achievement in this field, and to allow for intensive discussions by identifying the problems and seeking rooms to advance our knowledge.
The Workshop was held at the Faculty House of Columbia University on October 30 and 31, 2000. It was opened by Prof. Rimas Vaiacitis, Chair of the Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, Columbia University. The first day consisted of 14 invited presentations. The information is also available at the webpage http://www.civil.columbia.edu/~ling/nsf. The one-page abstract with a representative publication related to individual presentation is included in this Volume. If a full paper has been submitted, it is mentioned under representative publication. A proceedings with collection of already-published papers of the speakers were distributed. During the second day, three discussion sessions were organized that focused on the Design Issues, Testing and Experimental Studies, and Numerical Method and Modeling.
It is emphasized that
the case histories help to advance our state-of-the-art, and they are by no
means to discourage our use of existing innovative technologies or developing
new technologies. The experience learned from this Workshop enabled a special
technical session to be organized for the International Conference on
Geosynthetics in 2002 at Nice, France.

Seismic Performance of Reinforced Soil
Retaining Walls
Richard J. Bathurst, Royal
Military College, Canada
The paper is focused on experimental and numerical work recently completed or
underway at RMCC that investigates the seismic performance of metallic and
geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls. The experimental work involves
the construction of 1m-high reduced scale reinforced retaining walls
constructed on a shaking table and subjected to staged base excitation. The
walls were built with different footing conditions, wall batter and
reinforcement configurations. Examples of FLAC modeling used to simulate the
experimental results are also presented. A summary of recent numerical
investigations of the seismic response of reinforced soil walls will be
summarized. These investigations have systematically investigated the effects
of fundamental frequency, wall geometry, reinforcement configuration, and
ground motion history on dynamic response of walls. Implications of the
research at RMCC on seismic design and performance of reinforced soil walls are
identified.

High Seismic Performance of Prestressed
Geosynthetic-Reinforced
Soil Structure Equipped with a Ratchet System
Tatsuoka, F., Department of Civil Engineering,
University of Tokyo
Geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures used as critical structures, such
bridge abutments and piers, can become very stable even against very high
seismic loads, such as those the GRS walls were subjected to during the 1995
Kobe Earthquake and the 1999 ChiChi Earthquake, by means of prestressing. The
prestressing is applied vertically by using vertical tie rods extending from
below to above the backfill of GRS structure. By using a ratchet system for
locking the top of tie rods, the prestress can be kept nearly constant even
when the height of backfill tends to decrease due to cyclic straining, while
the height of backfill is kept constant when the height of backfill tends to
increase by, for example, bending deformation and dilatancy of the backfill. By
the latter function, the backfill behaves under essentially constant volume
conditions, which make the ultimate strength of compacted backfill very high. A
series of model shaking model tests and cyclic loading model tests were
performed to validate the above. A protoype ratchet system has been developed
for use with full-scale structures.

Seismic Design of
Geosynthetic Reinforced Slopes
Holtz, R.D., Kramer, S.L., and Taylor, T.A., Department of Civil Engineering,
University of Washington, Seattle
The objectives of the study were to increase our fundamental understanding of the seismic behavior of geosynthetic-reinforced slopes and to develop realistic displacement-based models for the practical seismic design of these structures. Model tests were conducted in a geotechnical centrifuge and on a large shaking table, and the results were modeled using FLAC. These analyses enabled the development of physically-reasonable simplified models of the seismic behavior of reinforced soil slopes that can be used for design.
Twenty model tests of wrapped-face reinforced steep slopes at 1/30 scale of a 6 m high prototype were subjected to in-flight shaking in the RPI geotechnical centrifuge. These tests indicated that horizontal deflections increased and the yield acceleration at mid-height of the slope decreased with decreasing reinforcement tensile strength and increasing reinforcement vertical spacing. The mode of failure appeared to be a sliding block type failure.
Similar results were found in a series of 1-g model test of steep slopes 1.2 m high conducted on the UW shaking table. In one series of 10 tests, a constant strength geotextile just strong enough to provide a static FS @ 1 was used, and the L/H, reinforcement spacing and lift thickness were varied. In the second series of 12 shaking table tests, variables included the reinforcement spacing, embedment length and tensile strength and stiffness. Instrumentation showed that the failure surface was in general a bilinear sliding block type failure with its exact shape of a function of the strength, spacing, and length of the reinforcement. Failure began at the top slope of the slope, just behind the reinforced zone, and progressed downward at an angle until heights of h/2 to h/4 above the base. Then the surface entered the reinforced zone at a flatter angle and exited the face of the slope between the first and third layers of reinforcement. The soil above the failure surface appeared to move almost as a rigid body.
Yield accelerations increased with increasing slope FS, specifically with increasing reinforcement strength and stiffness and decreasing reinforcement spacing. With all other factors held constant, the shaking table tests indicated that displacement per cycle increased with (a) increasing base acceleration amplitude, (b) decreasing reinforcement length, (c) increasing reinforcement spacing, and (d) decreasing reinforcement strength and stiffness. With increasing reinforcement spacing strength and stiffness, the reinforced soil slope also tended to amplify the input base motion; the effect was most pronounced at the crest of the slope.
The FLAC results were generally consistent with those observed in the model tests – a consistent pattern of deformation develops in geosynthetic-reinforced slopes subjected to seismic loading. Failure surfaces were clearly bilinear, and the soil (and reinforcement) above the failure surface appeared to behave as a rigid block. Thus a simplified Newmark-type model was developed to predict the general level of deformation of a reinforced slope. Procedures for the identification of model input parameters from material and geometric properties. The new model runs on a personal computer in a matter of seconds and predicts behavior consistent with that observed in the model tests produced by FLAC analyses (which can take considerable longer run periods). Thus the method is a useful design tool for the seismic stability of geosynthetic-reinforced slopes.
Lee, S S-H., National Chi-Nan University, Taiwan
Some segmental retaining walls (SRWs) have been found fail in the 921 Chi-Chi earthquake. Many criticism focused on the weakness of shear pins between vertically adjacent units were raised. Although most fail walls are moderate- to high-height SRWs, one can see a typical MCU geogrid-reinforced wall, with heights less than three meters, budged out at middle height. The vertical spacing of geogrid layers in this wall was found as much as 80 centimeters. So, the writer regards that too large vertical distance between reinforcements are the major reason for failures of SRWs.
For low- to moderate-height reinforced walls, the depth dimension of modular concrete unit as well as vertical connection mechanism between MCUs can provide significant contribution to the stability of a SRW. However, the lateral earth pressure of natural soils in a wall higher than four meters will be much larger than the strength of regular shear pins. A SRW needs zero earth pressure, which is due to the small vertical spacing of reinforcements, at the facing of a geogrid-reinforced wall in this situation. An important thumb-of-rule is that the smaller the vertical spacing, the higher the apparent cohesion in a mechanically stabilized soil.
Fortunately, there are many other SRWs in central Taiwan area successfully survived after 921 Chi-Chi earthquake. They are mostly constructed with vertical spacing in 40 cm typically. That is why they are still alive.

Failure Investigation of The Reinforced Slope
at The National Chi-Nan University
During The 1999 Chi-Chi Earthquake
Chou, N.N.S. and Fann C-C., Genesis
Group/Taiwan, Taipei, Taiwan
The reinforced slope, which is 60 to 70 meters high, located at the
entrance of the National Chi-Nan University in Puli collapsed during the 1999
Chi-chi earthquake. Although the Chi-chi earthquake is the most severe
earthquake ever for the past 100 years in Taiwan, geologic condition at the
site and some design aspects may also played a role in the failure of the
reinforced slope. Failure investigation and dynamic simulation of the
reinforced slope were conducted. The result shows that the slip surface took
place along a thin layer of clayey material. The reinforced slope with low
ratio of reinforcement length to height of the slope is critical to the
stability of the slope. In addition, the recompacted backfill on the upslope of
the reinforced slope may also decrease the overall stability of the slope.

Probabilistic Characterization of The Ch-Chi
Earthquake Ground Motion
Smyth, A.W., Department of Civil Engineering
and Engineering Mechanics,
Columbia University
A previously developed procedure to condense nonstationary random
excitation data to perform analytical random vibration response studies is used
to investigate the 1999 Chi-chi earthquake recorded ground motions. An ensemble
of free-field ground motion records from the main earthquake event collected
from locations near the Chelungpu fault was used to create the second order
statistics of the earthquake excitation. Using the compaction procedure, the
covariance matrix of the excitation process was spectrally decomposed by the
Karhunen-Loeve expansion. The dominant eigenvectors, i.e., those with the
largest eigen values, represent the dominant features of the earthquake
process. Second order descriptions of the transient dynamic response of
discrete systems to the compact form of the earthquake process are obtained.
This type of result can be used to facilitate improved design standards for
civil structures, and to perform reliability studies. A comparison is made of
the preliminary results of this study and those obtained from a similar
analysis performed on an ensemble of ground motions from the 1994 Northridge
earthquake.

Model Tests on Seismic Stability of Several
Types of Retaining Walls
Koseki, J., Institute of Industrial Science,
University of Tokyo
A series of irregular shaking tests was conducted on retaining wall models
consisting of six different types. In some tests, after the first failure plane
was formed in the backfill, the second failure place was formed at higher
seismic loads. This can be explained by considering the effects of strain localization
in the backfill soil and associated post-peak reduction in the shear resistance
from peak to residual values along a previously formed failure plane. Such
behavior has not been observed in the tilting tests and the sinusoidal shaking
tests that were conducted on the same models in the previous study. In these
tests, reinforced-soil retaining wall models with a rigid full-height facing
exhibited a ductile behavior compared to conventional type retaining wall
models such as gravity-type, leaning-type and cantilever-type ones. When the
model walls started to tilt, concentration of subgrade reactions at the toe of
conventional type retaining walls resulted in local failure due to loss of
bearing capacity. On the other hand, under similar conditions, tensile force in
the reinforcements of the reinforced-soil retaining walls could be mobilized
effectively to resist against the tilting displacement.

Applications of Centrifuge Modeling to Dynamic
Response of Reinforced Soil Walls
Fragaszy, R.J., Division of
Civil & Mechanical Systems,
National Science Foundation
This presentation describes the use of centrifuge modeling to investigate the
behavior of reinforced soil walls subjected to explosive loading. Ten nominally
identical centrifuge tests were conduced at 1/30 scale to determine the
reliability of test data. Statistical analyses were performed to determine
mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation on outward wall displacement,
wave speed, peak soil/wall interface pressure, and peak wall acceleration.
Additional tests were then performed in which modifications were made to the
wall, including varying soil density, number of reinforcement layers and length
of reinforcement. The purpose of these tests was to determine which parameters
had a significant influence on wall behavior. Soil density was found to have by
far the most influence on dynamic wall response. The advantages of first
obtaining a statistical data base are described. Also described is the use of
centrifuge testing to support questionable full-scale field data.

Seismic
Response of Reinforced Soil Slopes
Sitar, N., Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,
University of California-Berkeley
Documented case histories of seismic field performance of reinforced soil structures showed that reinforced soil slopes and walls tend to perform well under earthquake loading. However, field reports point out a lack of monitoring in practice, making it difficult to validate seismic design assumptions. In general, the structures tend to be flexible and deform without reaching catastrophic failure. A review of previous experimental studies also shows the inherent flexibility of reinforced soil under dynamic loading. In fact, in most of the studies, the walls were able to maintain their integrity even under severe shaking. Thus, both field and experimental data show that deformations need to be considered in the seismic design of these structures. Centrifuge tests were used to study the dynamic behavior of soil slopes reinforced with geosynthetics. The main objectives were to determine the failure mechanism and amount of deformations under seismic loading, and to identify the main parameters controlling seismically-induced deformations. Geosynthetically reinforced slopes (2V:1H) were subjected to earthquake motions with maximum foundation accelerations of up to 0.86g. The experimental results show that slope movement can occur under relatively small base accelerations, and significant lateral and vertical deformations can occur within the reinforced soil mass under strong shaking. However, no distinct failure surfaces tend to occur, and the magnitude of deformations is directly related to the backfill density and reinforcement stiffness.

Reinforced Slopes Subjected to Seismic Loads
Michalowski, R.L., Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,
University of Michigan
The kinematic theorem of limit analysis can be easily used to evaluate the
amount of reinforcement necessary to prevent collapse of slopes. The analysis
based on this approach entails global equilibrium of the soil mass with seismic
influence included as quasi-static forces. The computational results will be
presented in form of charts. While this approach is routinely used in practice,
it does not reflect the earthquake shaking process, and it does not provide any
information about permanent displacements that may have occurred during that
process. The interest in analyses of slopes subjected to seismic loads was
renewed after recent earthquakes. This presentation will focus on displacements
calculations of reinforced slopes. Design of reinforced slopes using
quasi-static approach may lead to unrealistically long reinforcement for large ground
accelerations. If a slope is allowed to move by even a small displacement, then
the reinforcement length can be significantly reduced. Two mechanisms of
failure of reinforced slopes subjected to seismic conditions are considered:
rotational collapse, and sliding directly over the bottom layer of
reinforcement. Calculations are separated into those related to the record of
seismic acceleration and those dependent on the structure itself. An example
will be shown to illustrate the results, and charts will be presented to
indicate convenient application of the results in design.

Uncertainty in
Soil Properties and Its Effect on Some Geotechnical Engineering Problems
Deodatis, G., Department of Civil Engineering,
Princeton University
Although soil properties are known to exhibit very significant spatial
variability, there has been relatively little effort until now to establish
probabilistic models describing this variability and to quantify its effect on
various geotechnical problems. This study presents some models that have been
developed recently to model the stochastic spatial variability of certain soil
properties based on in-situ measurements of natural and artificial deposits.
Specifically, these models include marginal probability distribution functions
for the uncertain properties and correlation functions to describe their
variability in space. These models are then used in some traditional
geotechnical earthquake engineering problems including slope stability analysis
and risk assessment of interacting soil-structure systems due to liquefaction.
The results are provided in terms of fragility curves indicating the
probability of exceeding a certain damage level as a function of the intensity
of the seismic event. Studying these results, it becomes immediately obvious
that the random spatial variability of soil properties has a very significant
effect on these problems. In addition, it is shown that it is impossible to
capture certain attributes of the system behavior by assuming homogeneous soil
properties.

Centrifuge and Full Scale Models of Geotextile
Reinforced Lime Stabilized Cohesive Soil Walls and Two Case Studies of
Segmental Retaining Walls in Turkey
Guler, E., Department of Civil Engineering,
Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey
Thirteen centrifuge models of lime stabilized kaolin geotextile reinforced soil
retaining walls were tested to failure by increased self-weight. Three failure
models were identified depending on the length of the geotextile reinforcement.
The addition of lime substantially improved the stability even when the
geotextile length was equal to only one half of the wall height.
Based on these findings a full height reinforced soil retaining structure was
constructed. Lime stabilized cohesive clay was used as the backfill material
and the wall was instrumented to determine stress distribution in the soil and
the reinforcement. The Factor of Safety was chosen as unity in the design and
surcharge loads were applied in order to bring the wall to failure. However it
was not possible to fail the wall.
Two geotextile reinforced segmental retaining walls were constructed for the
Turkish Highway Authority. The wall in Istanbul is at its maximum point 10 m
high and its reinforcement was instrumented with strain gauges. The other wall
is constructed in Antalya and is a tiered wall with a total height of 6 m. The
walls are in the first and second-degree earthquake zones respectively.

Geosynthetics for Earthquake Hazard Mitigation
Yegian, M.K., Department of
Civil and Environmental Engineering,
Northeastern University
Under dynamic excitations, slip deformations occur along smooth geosynthetic
interfaces, thus reducing the energy transmitted through the interfaces.
Geosynthetic liners placed under foundations can absorb seismic energy, and
hence transmit smaller ground motions to an overlying structure. This concept
of using geosynthetics for Foundation Isolation is similar to mechanical
isolators used in structural engineering. In addition, using geosynthetic
liners at different depths within new slopes, embankments or hydraulic fills -
known to be extremely vulnerable to liquefaction - can reduce the soil
amplification effect on the ground motion and the liquefaction potential of
loose fills. This concept is referred to as Soil Isolation.
A research program, funded by the National Science Foundation, is investigating
the technical feasibility, practicality, and limitations of using geosynthetics
for foundation and soil isolation to mitigate earthquake hazard.
The scope of this research includes shaking table tests on various
geosynthetics that show the best promise for foundation and soil isolation.
Constitutive models are being developed that describe the dynamic response of
geosynthetic interfaces. Model tests on buildings and soil profiles are
conducted using the shaking table, and the results are utilized to develop
procedures for analysis of the dynamic response of structures and soil profiles
that are isolated using geosynthetic liners.
The innovative concept of using geosynthetic liners to reduce earthquake ground
motion intensity, can be a very cost effective and simpler alternative to
conventional earthquake hazard mitigation measures.

Centrifuge Modeling of the Seismic Performance
of Slopes Reinforced
with Geotextile Strips
Pamuk, A., and Zimmie, T.F.,
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
This project utilizes dynamic centrifuge modeling. The research focuses on the
feasibility, performance and testing of an innovative reinforcement method to
be applied to natural slopes and earth structures (e.g., slopes and
embankments) which contain low quality soft soils, located in seismic regions.
The proposed method will be applied to the structures in a manner similar to
conventional soil nailing, and will increase the stability of marginally stable
slopes in two ways; that is, by introducing non-woven geotextile strips which
act as reinforcement, and also serve as a drainage media, thus decreasing pore
pressure build-up.
Cohesive soil models and geotextiles can be tested using centrifuges by
considering proper scaling laws. However, in general it is difficult to
simulate soil reinforcing processes (i.e., the model has to be constructed
prior to testing) as it actually progresses in the field. Therefore, a remotely
controlled miniature mandrel driver capable of inserting geotextile strips
horizontally or inclined into the model clay slopes is used, while the
centrifuge was spinning. After the strips are inserted at a predetermined
acceleration, the reinforced soil models are subjected to an input earthquake
motion utilizing an in-flight shaker, until the slope fails. The input motions
use increasing amplitudes or constant amplitudes with increasing number of
cycles, and are applied to slopes reinforced with various numbers of geotextile
strips.
Stability is dependent on the type of input motion, length, spacing and
orientation of the geotextile strips. Deformations of the reinforced slopes
were less than unreinforced slopes, showing that the method can be effective in
increasing the factor of safety of marginally stable slopes subject to earthquake
loads. The centrifuge tests revealed realistic data about the seismic
performance of the new type of mechanically stabilized earth system, and
offered an inexpensive and practical alternative to large-scale field tests.
The results obtained can be useful for the design of actual prototypes.
