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: Two series of centrifuge model tests were conducted using Nevada sand. Four saturated models placed in a mildly inclined laminar box and simulating a 6-m-thick deposit were shaken inducing liquefaction effects and lateral ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of six centrifuge model tests of liquefaction and earthquake-induced lateral spreading of fine Nevada sand using an inclined laminar box. The centrifuge experiments simulate a gently sloping, ...

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, ...
