Liquefaction induced ground failures during seismic events have been of major concern to
the engineering community. Laboratory, full-scale, and centrifuge experimentation has …

The nonlinear response of shallow foundations when subjected to combined loading has
attracted the attention of the research engineering community over the last few decades …

Abstract The LEAP (Liquefaction Experiment and Analysis Project) is a continuing
international collaboration to produce a reliable databank of high-quality experimental …

Two centrifuge experiments were conducted at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to
evaluate and assess the validity of the generalized scaling laws. The experiments were …

Assessing the forces generated in soil is an important step in geotechnical engineering and
it provides valuable insight into local and global behaviour of foundation systems. Capturing …

Numerical models are commonly used in practice to predict the occurrence and propagation
of liquefaction and lateral spreading. Nevertheless, there are still only a few good-quality …

This paper discusses the development and implementation of an educational module, which
incorporates a state-of-the-art teaching centrifuge into open-house demonstrations and the …

The nonlinear response of shallow foundations when subjected to combined loading has
been extensively studied by several researchers that have used sophisticated numerical …

T-walls are pile-supported concrete floodwalls that are part of the New Orleans flood
protection system. They are typically founded on long concrete or steel battered piles and …

Shallow foundations supporting slender structures are often subjected to extreme lateral
loading such as multi-cycle wind and wave loads in offshore environments or strong seismic …
