Abstract: The goal of this investigation is to assess the performance of rural structures in natural hazard events in 2018. Digital reconnaissance was implemented to retrieve data on damage-inflicting events, where collected data ...

Abstract: The current practice of designing dense granular columns (DGCs) to mitigate liquefaction is based on assumptions of uniformly layered deposits of relatively shallow, saturated, continuous, clean sand with no structure. As ...

Abstract: Most natural granular deposits are spatially variable due to heterogeneities in soil hydraulic conductivity, layer thickness, relative density, and continuity. However, existing simplified liquefaction evaluation procedures ...
