  1. The mean squared deviation between acceleration time histories (of soil-system test replicas) is expressed as a unique aggregate of three discrepancy measures associated with shape, phase, and frequency-shift. The shape-measure quantifies the deviations associated with dissimilarities in form and amplitude. The phase-measure estimates the deviations associated with differences in phase angle. The frequency-shift-measure quantifies the deviations associated with differences in frequency components. These measures were used to assess the discrepancies among six replicas of a centrifuge experiment of a liquefiable soil tested at six different facilities. A sensitivity analysis was thereafter used to assess the effects of input motion discrepancies on a liquefiable soil response. The conducted analysis showed that the acceleration response of the analyzed soil is more sensitive to discrepancies in input motion frequency than in phase or amplitude.
