Abstract: Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a major concern for embankment dam safety. Many liquefaction-induced earth embankment failures or near failures have been reported around the world during various earthquakes. Such ...

Abstract: A centrifuge-testing program is conducted to assess the earthquake performance of countermeasure retrofit techniques for a liquefiable foundation under an existing embankment. Currently, such testing results offer a valuable ...

Abstract: A series of four dynamic centrifuge model tests was performed to investigate the effect of foundation densification on the seismic performance of a zoned earth dam with a saturated sand foundation. In these experiments, ...
