Abstract

Biot equations that consider fluid and soil interaction at the same time are the most applicable relationships in the soil dynamic analysis. However, in dynamic analysis, due to the sudden increase in the excess pore pressure caused by seismic excitation and the occurrence of high hydraulic gradients, the assumption of the Darcy flow used in these equations is questionable. In the present study, in the u-p form of Biot equations, non-Darcy flow is considered. Also, the nonlinear behavior of soil is modeled by the Pastor-Zienkiewicz -Chan model. For validation, the VELACS No.1 experiment is modeled and the effect of the nonlinear fluid flow assumption on the results is examined. The results indicate that in the low permeability coefficients, the obtained results of the non-Darcy and Darcy flow are in agreement; however, in high permeability coefficients, these two methods differ by time and depth.
