Abstract: Dynamic nonlinear effective stress analysis of 45 well-documented liquefaction field case histories provides insights on the seismic response of sites where simplified liquefaction triggering procedures indicated liquefaction ...

Abstract: Several widely used field methods for estimating postliquefaction ground deformation are based on the laboratory data from one series of cyclic simple shear tests performed on one uniform clean sand reconstituted to three ...

Abstract: A cone penetration test (CPT)-based procedure to estimate liquefaction-induced ejecta severity is developed. The liquefaction ejecta demand parameter (LD) captures the amount of upward seepage pressure that can produce ...

Abstract: Liquefaction-induced ground deformation has caused major damage to bridge and wharf structures in past earthquakes. Large lateral ground displacements may induce significant forces in the foundation and superstructure, ...

Abstract: Pseudostatic slope stability procedures are commonly used in engineering practice. However, the selection of the seismic coefficient employed in the analysis is often based on precedence without due consideration of the ...

Abstract: A simplified semiempirical predictive relationship for estimating permanent displacements due to earthquake-induced deviatoric deformations is presented. It utilizes a nonlinear fully coupled stick-slip sliding block model ...

Abstract: A series of major earthquakes near Christchurch, New Zealand, produced different levels of liquefaction-induced ground failure and damage to multistory buildings in the city’s central business district. Observations of ...

Abstract: The severity of liquefaction-induced ejecta manifestation for the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquakes was overestimated or underestimated using simplified liquefaction ground-failure indices at several sites in Christchurch. ...
