Abstract: In this article, the results of load-settlement responses in piles bored from cone penetration tests (CPTs) are presented and discussed to present an accurate artificial intelligence (AI) model. Different AI computation ...

Abstract: A liquefaction potential map of the peninsula of Charleston, S.C., is presented in this paper. Liquefaction potential is expressed in terms of the liquefaction potential index developed by Iwasaki et al. and calculated ...

Abstract: Data from over 30 sites in 5 countries are analyzed to develop updated factors for correcting liquefaction resistance for aged sand deposits. Results of cyclic laboratory tests on relatively undisturbed and reconstituted ...

Abstract: A fragility-based probabilistic framework is proposed for the optimal design of friction pendulum (FP) bearings in seismically isolated liquid-storage tanks. The isolation period and sliding friction coefficient of the FP ...

Abstract: Factors for correcting liquefaction resistance for aged sands using ratios of measured to estimated shear-wave velocity (MEVR) are derived in this paper. Estimated values of shear-wave velocity
