Abstract: The surface and downhole accelerations, and pore‐water pressures recorded during the 1987 earthquakes at a site in the Imperial Wildlife Management Area (Imperial County, Calif.) are used to obtain direct estimates of the ...

Abstract: Widespread liquefaction occurred in Kobe, Japan, during the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake. At the reclaimed Port Island in Kobe, the observed large-scale liquefaction was documented by acceleration records from a downhole ...

Abstract: A centrifuge-testing program is conducted to assess the earthquake performance of countermeasure retrofit techniques for a liquefiable foundation under an existing embankment. Currently, such testing results offer a valuable ...

Abstract: A full-scale vibration test is conducted to measure the low-amplitude dynamic characteristics of a reinforced concrete cantilever wall-backfill system. Measurements during a frequency sweep are recorded along the wall ...
