Abstract: This study examines the postliquefaction flow failure mechanism, in which shear strain develops due to seepage upward during the redistribution of excess pore water pressure after an earthquake. The mechanism is addressed ...

Abstract: This study examined the liquefaction-induced ground settlement of silty sand ground, in which many nonplastic fines are contained. Investigation determined that if fines were included in the specimen, the minimum void ratio ...

Abstract: Horizontal drains (HDs) are used widely for effective groundwater management in agricultural lands and geotechnical applications. These drainage systems facilitate water flow through perforations in the HD pipe wall, causing ...
