Abstract: A review of liquefaction case histories shows that sand deposits containing some fines were common in past liquefaction events. While current liquefaction mitigation measures are mostly applicable to clean sands or open ...

Abstract: The vast majority of surface structures are located on or surrounded by unsaturated soil deposits and may suffer excessive settlements during earthquakes. However, the fundamental understanding of the mechanisms by which ...

Abstract: A set of dynamic centrifuge experiments was performed to assess the effect of the depth of the groundwater table on the seismic site response and kinematic interaction of a foundation on unsaturated sandy soil. The ...

Abstract: Recently, progress has been made toward understanding the seismic response of structures placed on unsaturated soil layers. A missing link, however, involves the influence and assessment of the underlying soil saturation ...

Abstract: Pile response in unsaturated soils is an area of interest due to its prevalence in real-world scenarios. Significant differences exist in the lateral behavior of single piles in partially saturated soils due to increased ...
