Abstract: A coupled hydromechanical model was used to analyze the mesoscale pore fluid flow and microscale solid phase deformation of saturated granular soils. The fluid motion was idealized using averaged Navier–Stokes equations, ...

Abstract: The surface and downhole accelerations, and pore‐water pressures recorded during the 1987 earthquakes at a site in the Imperial Wildlife Management Area (Imperial County, Calif.) are used to obtain direct estimates of the ...

Abstract: The seismic records of the Long Valley Earth Dam are utilized in order to shed some light on the salient features of the dam nonlinear behavior. The dam is well instrumented with 22 accelerographs tied with a common ...

Abstract: Widespread liquefaction occurred in Kobe, Japan, during the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake. At the reclaimed Port Island in Kobe, the observed large-scale liquefaction was documented by acceleration records from a downhole ...
