Summary
Earthquakes can cause different deformations for different soil types and different earthquake characteristics. Deformations caused by earthquakes can be given as follows: surface rupture, regional subsidence, slope movements, volumetric compression, liquefaction, settlement and bearing capacity failures, horizontal expansions and sand volcanos. In this study, reported in this paper, the modeling studies of soil deformations were presented for different soil types and different earthquake effects. Soil deformations under the dynamic effect were modeled by using the Plaxis 2D software dynamic module and the results were discussed. The results indicate that soil improvement techniques are needed to prevent deformations caused by earthquake.
