Abstract: This paper presents a theory and its application for post-fracture pressure-transient analyses. The proposed procedure, known as “impulse fracture test,” is an injection/falloff test designed for ...

Abstract: Postearthquake deformation analyses of the lower San Fernando dam were conducted using an incremental finite‐element method. In the analyses, an undrained elastoplastic model was used to simulate the collapse of liquefied ...

Abstract: Postearthquake deformations of the Wildlife site, Imperial Valley, Calif., following the 1987 Superstition Hills earthquake, have been interpreted by finite‐element deformation analyses. The analyses consider the stress ...
