A plasticity model for representing clays and plastic silts, as opposed to purely nonplastic
silts or sand, in geotechnical earthquake engineering applications is presented. The PM4Silt …

Cone penetrometer testing (CPT) is a frequently used soil characterization technique for
liquefaction assessment; however, this technique has shortcomings in accurately …

Abstract The Wynne Avenue site in the California San Fernando Valley was analyzed using
two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear dynamic analyses (NDAs) with geostatistical subsurface …

Abstract The Canterbury Earthquake Sequence produced a spatial pattern of liquefaction-
induced surface ejecta at an open field along Palinurus Road in Christchurch, New Zealand …

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which soils lose their strength and stiffness significantly
during earthquake shakings. It is very important to accurately predict the liquefaction …

Lateral spreading of an interlayered deposit adjacent to a meandering stream channel in
Wufeng, Taiwan, during the 1999 Chi-Chi Earthquake is evaluated using two-dimensional …

The seismic performance of Balboa Boulevard during the 1994 MW 6.7 Northridge
earthquake was examined through nonlinear deformation analyses (NDAs) using advanced …

Uncertain or indirect “soft” data, such as geologic interpretation, driller's logs, geophysical
logs or imaging, offer potential constraints or “soft conditioning” to stochastic models of …

Failure of tailings dams can result in significant spill, loss of human lives, and damages to
the environment and infrastructure. Cyclic loadings such as earthquakes and blasting are …

The focus of this study is to examine the soil properties and liquefaction potential of the
Erenler center district in a critical tectonic zone that can produce large earthquakes, such as …
