Earthquake Deformation of Centrifuge Model Banks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A modified sliding block analysis, which allows the sliding resistance to be nonlinear visco‐elastoplastic, has been developed to predict deformations of embankments during earthquakes. Contrary to the assumption (of the ...
Closure to “<i>Earthquake Deformation of Centrifuge Model Banks</i>” by Bruce L. Kutter (December, 1984, Vol. 110, No. 12)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Effect of Footing Shape and Embedment on the Settlement, Recentering, and Energy Dissipation of Shallow Footings Subjected to Rocking
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Capacity, Settlement, and Energy Dissipation of Shallow Footings Subjected to Rocking
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effectiveness of structural fuse mechanisms used to improve the performance of buildings during seismic loading depends on their capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, isolation, and self-centering characteristics. ...
Contact Interface Model for Shallow Foundations Subjected to Combined Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It has been recognized that the ductility demands on a superstructure might be reduced by allowing rocking behavior and mobilization of the ultimate capacity of shallow foundations during seismic loading. However, the ...
Effects of Moment-to-Shear Ratio on Combined Cyclic Load-Displacement Behavior of Shallow Foundations from Centrifuge Experiments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current design guidelines for shallow foundations supporting building and bridge structures discourage footing rocking or sliding during seismic loading. Recent research indicates that footing rocking has the potential to ...
Discussion of “Analyzing Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Spreads Using Strength Ratios” by S. M. Olson and C. I. Johnson
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Liquefaction‐Induced Lateral Spreading of Mildly Sloping Ground
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dynamic centrifuge modeling was used to study the behavior of two mildly sloping ground models subjected to earthquake loading and liquefaction. The first model consisted of a uniform layer of saturated sand, and the second ...
Liquefaction Mechanism for Layered Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Results from four centrifuge model tests are presented. Three of the model tests involve layered soil deposits subject to base shaking; one model test involves a uniform soil deposit of sand subject to base shaking. The ...
Contraction, Dilation, and Failure of Sand in Triaxial, Torsional, and Rotational Shear Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The response of a saturated fine sand (Nevada sand No. 120) with relative density
