LG-1: Full Scale Level Ground Large Scale Shaking Test on loose sand deposit

Test LG-1 involved a 5 m deep, loose saturated clean sand deposit constructed inside laminar box at the U. at Buffalo using a hydraulic fill technique. Box was imparted with input base motions of 0.015g, 0.02g, 0.03g and 0.1g provided as artificial sinusoidal motions using actuator assembly at University at Buffalo. Excess pore pressures and settlements in the sand deposit were recorded. The liquefaction in various areas of sand in the box was analyzed.
