Evaluation of Soil Dynamic Properties in Centrifuge Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a method to compute the mobilized shear modulus,
Centrifuge Modeling of Shallow Foundation Lateral Disconnection to Reduce Seismic Vulnerability
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An innovative yet extremely simple approach to reduce the seismic vulnerability of existing buildings on shallow foundations is to remove the lateral contact between the embedded foundation and the surrounding soil. This ...
Effects of Displacement Hardening on the Seismic Design of Anchored Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A reliable assessment of earthquake-induced permanent displacements is a fundamental step for both displacement-based and force-based methods applied to the seismic design of embedded anchored walls. Acceleration reduction ...
Improved Method for the Seismic Design of Anchored Steel Sheet Pile Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper describes a new pseudostatic approach for an efficient seismic design of anchored steel sheet pile (ASSP) walls supported by shallow passive anchorages. As for other retaining structures, energy dissipation ...
Three-Dimensional Coupled Finite-Element Analyses of the Seismic Performance of Onshore Wind Turbines on Liquefiable Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In recent decades, research on renewable energy has been boosted by the emerging awareness of energy security and climate change and their consequences, such as the global cost of adapting to the climate impacts. Both ...
