The seismic performance of an LNG tank on liquefiable soil improved with stone columns is
assessed through 3D effective stress time history analyses. The numerical methodology …

Motivated by recent failures of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) around the globe, the tailings
community is actively working to better understand the mechanical behavior of mine tailings …

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

This study presents cyclic resistances of an instrumented medium dense sand (ie, the Sand
Array) and medium plastic silt (ie, the Silt Array) deposit deduced from in situ dynamic testing …

Numerical simulations of centrifuge experiments examining a sheet-pile wall with a
liquefiable backfill are conducted and results are compared against the experimental …

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 mechanical response of sand is affected by the axial strain accumulated during
undrained cyclic triaxial loading tests. However, the large deformation that occurs during the …

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

This paper presents the verification of a new bounding surface plasticity model with reversal
surfaces when used in boundary value problems related to liquefaction. The model is …

Blind numerical simulations of seven centrifuge tests with “identical” models of a sheet-pile
wall supporting medium dense liquefiable backfill and subjected to seismic excitation were …
