RISFoundation Liquefaction Countermeasures for Earth Embankments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...
Discussion of “<i>Dynamic Interface Shear Strength Properties of Geomembranes and Geotextiles</i>” by M. K. Yegian and A. M. Lahlaf (May 1992, Vol. 118, No. 5)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental Foundation Impedance Functions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Complex foundation impedance functions were determined experimentally from the results of forced vibration tests conducted at an accelerograph station. Two independent vibration experiments were performed to obtain estimates ...
Liquefaction Resistance of Soils: Summary Report from the 1996 NCEER and 1998 NCEER/NSF Workshops on Evaluation of Liquefaction Resistance of Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Following disastrous earthquakes in Alaska and in Niigata, Japan in 1964, Professors H. B. Seed and I. M. Idriss developed and published a methodology termed the “simplified procedure” for evaluating liquefaction resistance ...
