Prefabricated Vertical Field Experiment - Drain-treated Test Area

The field testing was performed at a site in Conway, South Carolina over a period from 02 August to 08 August 2008. The purpose of this field experiment was to capture the static and dynamic pore water pressure and the three-dimensional (MEMS) acceleration responses. The pore water pressure response was normalized to determine the excess pore pressure ratios, while the accelerations were used to compute the cyclic shear strains in three coordinate planes. The data contained herein was recorded using liquefaction sensors (miniature PPT and 3D MEMS accelerometers) connected to a dynamic signal analyzer (Data Physics) during the full-scale staged dynamic testing (using a Vibratory Mandrel).
