Shield tunnels are widely in used urban areas and could be constructed in fully or partially
liquefiable soil deposits and are thus susceptible to damage during earthquake events. In …

Assessment of the seismic slope stability in terms of a factor of safety (FoS) is often
addressed using pseudo-static approaches neglecting material-induced failure and the role …

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 …

Soil liquefaction–a common hazard during earthquakes–can cause severe damage to
infrastructure systems. The excessive pore water pressure induced by underground shaking …

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

The effects of subsurface heterogeneity on liquefaction phenomena during earthquakes are
discussed using case histories and nonlinear dynamic analyses with different subsurface …

The dynamic behaviour of saturated coarse-grained soils has recently received wide
attention because of its impact on the seismic performance of geotechnical and structural …

Abstract Characterization of liquefaction response in terms of triggering and manifestation at
sites with soils containing significant amounts of fines is critically important. Saturated fines …

A viscoplastic model for representing plastic silts and clays in geotechnical static slope
stability applications is presented. The PM4SiltR model builds on the stress ratio-controlled …

This paper reviews recommendations regarding criteria and engineering procedures for
evaluating undrained cyclic strengths of sand-like, clay-like, and intermediate soils. The …
