Abstract: Stiff in-ground structural or diaphragm walls have previously been used as a liquefaction countermeasure for existing building structures. The available design methodologies for typical mitigation techniques are based on ...

Abstract: The current practice of designing dense granular columns (DGCs) to mitigate liquefaction is based on assumptions of uniformly layered deposits of relatively shallow, saturated, continuous, clean sand with no structure. As ...

Abstract: Most natural granular deposits are spatially variable due to heterogeneities in soil hydraulic conductivity, layer thickness, relative density, and continuity. However, existing simplified liquefaction evaluation procedures ...
