| Abstract | The boundary conditions for physical modeling in problems of earthquake geotechnical engineering have significant influence on the test results. In order to reduce the undesirable effects of boundaries on the model responses, the flexible containers are used. The flexible containers are those in which the shear stiffness of the walls is proportional to the soil inside. There are different kinds of flexible boxes which are briefly reviewed in this paper and the general properties of different alternatives for the construction of a flexible box are studied for 1g shaking table tests. Detail description of the design steps of a flexible laminar shear box for the shaking table of the Earthquake Research Center of Sharif University of Technology (SUT), is explained. The results of numerical simulations conducted for the determination of dynamic properties of soil model used in the designed box as well as static calibration tests of the container, are presented and the applicability of the designed container is evaluated. |
