Abstract: Finite-element (FE) simulations are increasingly providing a versatile environment for conducting lateral ground deformation studies. In this environment, mitigation strategies may be assessed in order to achieve economical ...

Abstract: On the basis of a systematic parametric study, three-dimensional (3D) finite-element (FE) simulations were conducted to evaluate mitigation by the stone column (SC) approach. Mildly sloping saturated cohesionless strata ...

Abstract: Carbon footprint considerations have become one of the significant concerns in the construction and rehabilitation of public infrastructure. As such, sustainability metrics using carbon footprint are of particular significance ...

Abstract: Calibration, on the basis of data from centrifuge and shake table experiments, continues to promote the development of more accurate computational models. Capabilities such as coupled solid–fluid formulations and nonlinear ...

Abstract: Considerable bridge-ground interaction effects are involved when evaluating the consequences of liquefaction-induced deformations. Due to seismic excitation, liquefied soil layers may result in substantial accumulated ...
