Abstract: History has shown that soil liquefaction could render buildings or infrastructures nonserviceable. It is understood that the soil liquefaction potential depends on the geotechnical engineering properties at the site and ...

Abstract: It is believed that the Sanchiao fault in Taipei, the most important city in Taiwan, has caused several major earthquakes. In the literature, one study suggested return periods of the Sanchiao earthquake of 543, 568, and ...

Abstract: The region around Taiwan is known for high seismicity. Under the circumstances, seismic hazard assessments and proper earthquake-resistant designs are essential to the region. From a well-studied earthquake catalog, this ...

Abstract: Motivated by recent studies showing concave slopes are more stable than planar slopes, this paper presents a feasible approach to build a dry-stone concave gravity segmental soil retaining wall (GSW) using special prefabricated ...
