Basically I am pursuing my masters degree and I have interest in soil dynamics and earthquake engineering. One of the topics I have in my mind is behavior of earth dams during earthquakes. I want this topic for term paper, but I am willing to take it further.
Here is one. Under what circumstances must be present for a loaded building footing foundation to settle because of nearby vibrations, such as those from a railroad or compacting backfill to a trench nearby? I've seen a few cases where just compacting under-floor fill at new construction inside a building that the footings settled. Why? Apply that to fresh concrete being moved along with vibrators. What RPM and HP needed? Saturation?
What about soil-structure interaction behavior during seismic loading? Pile foundations or piled raft analysis in liquefiable areas? I am located in Japan and although lots of research has been done,these topics are always interesting...
