Numerical Analysis of Dynamic Behavior of Highly Saturated Sand Bed around Cylindrical Block under Cyclic Loading of Water Pressure

In this paper the theoretical procedure to analyze the dynamic behavior of highly saturated sand bed around a cylindrical block under the cyclic loading of water pressure is developed. The fundamental equations were derived for the axially symmetric coordinates. Then, the finite element equations were developed to solve these fundamental equations numerically. Finally, the numerical method was verified by experiments.
