Effects of Near-Fault Ground Shaking on Sliding Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical study is presented for a rigid block supported through a frictional contact surface on a horizontal or an inclined plane, and subjected to horizontal or slope-parallel excitation. The latter is described with ...
Simplified Constitutive Model for Simulation of Cyclic Response of Shallow Foundations: Validation against Laboratory Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The nonlinear response of shallow foundations has been studied experimentally and analytically. However, the engineering community is not yet convinced of the applicability of such concepts in practice. A key prerequisite ...
Seismic Behavior of Batter Piles: Elastic Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several aspects of the seismic response of groups containing nonvertical piles are studied, including the lateral pile-head stiffnesses, the “kinematic” pile deformation, and the “inertial” soil-pile-structure response. A ...
Slope Stabilizing Piles and Pile-Groups: Parametric Study and Design Insights
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper uses a hybrid method for analysis and design of slope stabilizing piles that was developed in a preceding paper by the writers. The aim of this paper is to derive insights about the factors influencing the ...
Hybrid Method for Analysis and Design of Slope Stabilizing Piles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Piles are extensively used as a means of slope stabilization. Despite the rapid advances in computing and software power, the design of such piles may still include a high degree of conservatism, stemming from the use of ...
Discussion of “<i>Earthquake Induced Displacements of Sliding Blocks</i>” by Jeen‐Shang Lin and Robert V. Whitman (January, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 1)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
1988 Armenia Earthquake. II: Damage Statistics versus Geologic and Soil Profiles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This is a companion paper dealing with engineering aspects of the surface‐wave magnitude
Prediction of Observed Bridge Response with Soil‐Pile‐Structure Interaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple integrated procedure to analyze the problem of soil‐pile‐foundation‐superstructure interaction is presented. The procedure combines the available theories for the computation of the dynamic impedances and ...
