Abstract:
Sustainable material are often applied to mitigate earthquake response in geotechnical engineering. In this paper a layer of rubber-sand mixture (RSM) is used to mitigate earthquake induced liquefaction potential of an RC building. For this purpose, a numerical analysis is carried with 1 D beam model using SAP2000. It is established that around 40% reduction in pile head displacement is achieved with 2.5 m deep RSM layer showing a sustainable solution in earthquake hazard mitigation
