Solve Complex Ground and Foundation Problems Presenting more than 25 years of
teaching and working experience in a wide variety of centrifuge testing, the author of …

When a structure supported on shallow foundations is subjected to inertial loading due to
earthquake motions, the foundation may undergo sliding, settling and rocking movements …

This paper describes a new apparatus and techniques for performing deformation
measurements using particle image velocimetry in the centrifuge environment. The new …

In this study, the evaluation of static and seismic bearing capacity factors for a shallow strip
footing was carried out by using the method of characteristics, which was extended to the …

When a structure supported on shallow foundations is subjected to inertial loading due to
earthquake ground motion, the foundation may undergo sliding, settling and rocking …

A new paradigm has now emerged in performance-based seismic design of soil–foundation–
structure systems. Instead of imposing strict safety limits on forces and moments transmitted …

The response of shallow foundations under lateral cyclic loading is generally nonlinear and
involves rocking, sliding, settlement, and may also involve foundation uplift and soil yielding …

Digital camera was used to record the dynamic process of soil desiccation cracks in real
time. With application of image processing technique, the relationship between the …

A simplified approximate method to analyze the rocking response of SDOF systems lying on
compliant soil is introduced, accounting for soil inelasticity and foundation uplifting. The soil …

In the present study, the emphasis is made on the seismic performance of nuclear
containment constructed on layered medium to dense silty sand soil considering the …
