## 1 Introduction  
Due to the randomness and uncertainty of earthquakes, it is necessary to conduct simulated earthquake experiments to understand the dynamic behavior of soil in controlled environments. Generally, theoretical analysis, model test, and numerical analysis are the three major research methods for seismic responses. As a number of theoretical and numerical analysis results have not been validated due to the complexity of soil, a controlled model test such as the \(1\,g\) shaking table test is very useful. Typically, \(1\,g\) shaking table tests with either rigid soil boxes or laminar shear boxes have been widely used to understand the dynamic response of soil subjected to earthquake loading. Rigid soil boxes have generally been used as they are very simple to use [1]. Laminar shear boxes have been recently used by some researchers for \(1\,g\) shaking table tests. Many researchers have attempted to obtain the seismic response as accurately as possible under \(1\,g\) shaking table test conditions. Therefore, the design of the model box is very important. The laminar shear box is successful in simulating the soil boundary conditions [2]. [PERSON] et al. [3] studied the performance of the laminar box and non-linear seismic behavior of the model clay. The study showed that the laminar box does not impose significant boundary effects and is able to maintain 1-D soil column behavior. In addition, the dynamic behavior of the model clay during scaled model tests was found to be consistent with the behavior measured during cyclic laboratory tests. [PERSON] et al [2] developed a laminar shear container and tested the natural vibration frequency and damping ratio of a model soil box. The results showed that the developed laminar shear soil container was successful in simulating the soil boundary conditions. It is an ideal for the container to weaken the reflection and scattering effect of waves on the boundaries. [PERSON] et al. [4] presented the boundary effects introduced by a laminar container for simulating 1D shear wave propagation in a free field, based on dynamic centrifuge tests. A series of 1D centrifuge shaking table tests involving dry and saturated sand models were conducted to simulate level deposits subjected to several magnitudes of 1 Hz base shaking. The time histories of acceleration and excess pore water pressure (saturated sand model) were measured at various depths and at several distances from the end walls to assess and quantify the boundary effects of the laminar container on the seismic response. Since the 1980s, the rapid development of computer technology has greatly promoted the development of numerical solutions for ground seismic response analysis. The whole ground system can be calculated dynamically by the finite element method. Many scholars have done finite element analyses to evaluate the seismic response of soil [5; 6; 7; 8]. [PERSON] [5] presented a numerical model for studying the dynamic evolution of landslides and analyzed a simplified slope with houses placed on the top. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [6] performed finite element calculation of seismic acceleration in shear zone of landslide using ABAQUS 2D model. [PERSON] et al. [7] studied the seismic response characteristics of saturated soft free field ground by a large-scale shaking table test. The nonlinearity coupled numerical model of dynamical effective stress of saturated soft free foundation was established using OpenSEES. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [8] established a numerical model of the effect of a circular subway tunnel on the acceleration at the ground surface through 1 \(g\) shaking table test to study the influence of soil shear wave velocity, input motion frequency content, flexibility ratio and depth of the tunnel on the amplification pattern. Previous studies have used single numerical analysis method, which may lead to a lack of reference in data comparison. This study uses two numerical analysis methods to compare with experiments to make the results more convincing.
