The liquefaction or softening of the soils and the potential vulnerability of existing buildings
on liquefiable soils continue to be of major concern to the public because it has repeatedly …

A micromechanical investigation on simple shear behavior of dense granular assemblies
was carried out by discrete element method. Three series of numerical tests were performed …

During the past decades, various soil improvement techniques have been developed to
mitigate liquefaction hazards. One of the most newfound techniques is induced partial …

The undrained behavior of partially saturated sands under repetitive loading has been
investigated by many researchers experimentally. The research to date demonstrate that …

Seismic liquefaction occurs in saturated loose sandy soil when pore water pressure rises
during shaking and effective stress decreases. In the extreme case, the effective stress …

During the past four decades, intensive experimental research on liquefaction has led to
advancements in understanding of the mechanism of liquefaction and development of …

In this study, the liquefaction responses of partially saturated sand samples prepared by
Induced Partial Saturation (IPS) technique were investigated on small-size specimens tested …

The seabed sediments have different original stress states. It is of great significance to study
the acoustic characteristics of sediments in different stress states. By adding an acoustic …

In the last decades, alternative low cost seismic isolation techniques which are commonly
known as Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) systems were developed to mitigate …

Loose, saturated sand or silt deposits can often be susceptible to liquefaction deformations
during earthquakes. If these deposits are also on or near slopes or embankments …
