Abstract
In order to grasp mechanical behavior of anisotropic ground beneath a structure subjected to cyclic loading, a series of model tests was performed under several depositional conditions. In particular, applicability of countermeasures constructed by either side wall or sheet pile was examined detailedly. The result showed that the installation of side wall or of sheet pile had advantageous as countermeasures against such a ground failure, however the installation effect was different depending on the changes in depositional condition of the ground.
