Assessment of Existing SPT–CPT Correlations Using a New Zealand Database
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Using a database of approximately 900 data pairs from 230 sites of co-located cone penetration test (CPT) soundings and boreholes with standard penetration tests (SPT) in the South Island of New Zealand, this paper assesses ...
Investigation on the Impact of Seasonally Frozen Soil on Seismic Response of Bridge Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the development of numerical models that investigated the seismic response of a simple two span prototype bridge system during warm and frozen temperatures. Models from both temperature conditions were ...
Efficacy of Aging Correction for Liquefaction Assessment of Case Histories Recorded during the 2010 Darfield and 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes in New Zealand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Data from 58 high-quality liquefaction case histories from the Darfield and Christchurch earthquakes are utilized to investigate the efficacy of current liquefaction aging correction procedures. Toward this end, liquefaction ...
Vs-Based Evaluation of Select Liquefaction Case Histories from the 2010–2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence included a number of events that triggered recurrent soil liquefaction at many locations in Christchurch, New Zealand. However, the most severe liquefaction was induced by the ...
