Abstract: Seismic design of geotechnical structures often requires estimates of how shearing resistance of liquefiable soil is reduced to its minimum value (residual strength, sr) as pore pressures build up and is subsequently ...

Abstract: The motivation for this study is the damage caused to over 300 long-span bridges in Vermont in 2011 by Tropical Storm Irene, which is part of the Hurricane Irene system. This study of the effects of this single extreme ...
