Abstract: An accelerogram-based method is developed and validated for the quick assessment of liquefaction occurrence based on ground motion records. In this method, two frequency-related ground motion indices, termed RL and MIFr, ...

Abstract: Understanding and assessing the spatial extent of liquefaction requires that the spatial dependence of soil properties to be taken into account. In this work, a cone penetration test (CPT)-based approach for the evaluation ...

Abstract: This study depicts a scenario where vulnerability to soil liquefaction leads to the deterioration of a city-scale traffic system shortly after an earthquake. A novel framework for evaluating city-scale traffic performance ...

Abstract: This study develops a novel method for reconstructing three dimensional (3D) granular grains from computed tomography (CT) images. Unlike previous studies requiring trial-and-error hyperparameters, the hybrid algorithm ...

Abstract: Rotational hardening is the constitutive ingredient of clay plasticity models that allows rotation of the yield surface in stress space to simulate, more realistically than isotropic models, the stress-strain response under ...
