Researches have been conducted on the effects of scour protection measures such as geo-textile rock bags from the viewpoint of the stability of monopile foundations. However, studies on the wave response characteristics of the ground as representative of liquefaction are limited.
In this study, we have proposed a similitude law based on the theory of ground response to waves and conducted hydraulic model experiments to clarify the characteristics of the ground response when scour countermeasure using rock bags are placed. It is found that the ground response to waves can be evaluated accurately by using a vertical one-dimensional model for the cases without scour countermeasure and a VOF-Elasto-plastic model for the cases with scour countermeasure.
