Abstract: The characteristics of soil response during earthquake excitations, at a site in Lotung, Taiwan are identified using the Lotung large scale seismic test (LSST) data. A technique is developed to evaluate soil shear ...

Abstract: The Lotung large-scale seismic test (LSST) site in Taiwan was instrumented in 1985 with an array of downhole and surface accelerometers, by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Palo Alto, Calif., and the Taiwan ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of model-based simulations of 1-g shake table tests of level and sloping saturated granular soils subject to seismic excitations. The simulations utilize a transient fully coupled continuum-fluid ...

Abstract: This paper examines in detail the mechanics of lateral spreading observed in a full-scale test of a sloping saturated fine sand deposit, representative of liquefiable, young alluvial and hydraulic fill sands in the field. ...
