Much of the world's essential infrastructure is built along congested coastal belts that are
composed of weak and highly compressible soils to significant depths. Soft alluvial and …

Drainage methods for liquefaction remediation have been in use since the 1970s and have
traditionally included stone columns, gravel drains, and more recently prefabricated vertical …

Numerical simulations of a centrifuge test, in which dissipation patterns, lateral spreading,
and shear strain localization were measured and recorded, are performed for validation of …

This paper presents results from, and an evaluation of, inverse analysis techniques applied
to dense instrumentation arrays in a dynamic centrifuge model test for the purpose of better …

Estimates of earthquake-induced deformations for geotechnical structures affected by
liquefaction can involve significant uncertainties stemming from the uncertainty in the in-situ …

This paper revisits the seminal work of Seed and Booker (1977)[21] on the design of
infinitely permeable drains for liquefaction mitigation. It is shown that their basic …

This paper revisits the seminal work of Seed & Booker (1977) on the design of gravel drains
for liquefaction mitigation. It shows that their basic mathematical assumption for the …

Earthquake-induced liquefaction causes extensive damage to infrastructure. Soil
liquefaction induced effects can account for a significant proportion of damage such as …

Void redistribution in layered soil profiles can significantly affect the residual strength of a
liquefied soil and the resulting deformations. Liquefaction-induced seepage may get trapped …

Reducing the risk of structural damage due to earthquake-induced liquefaction in new and
existing buildings is a challenging problem in geotechnical engineering. Drainage …
