Abstract: It is well established that the main mechanism for the occurrence of liquefaction under seismic loading conditions is the generation of excess pore water pressure. Most previous research efforts have focused on clean sands, ...

Abstract: Relationships between seismic site classification and surficial geology for the city of Fairbanks, Alaska, for both frozen (winter) and unfrozen (summer) surface conditions are investigated in this article. The work is ...

Abstract: To overcome current limitations in predicting in situ pore-pressure generation, a new field testing technique is used to measure directly the coupled, local response between the induced shear strains and the generated ...
