Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of dynamic centrifuge tests that were conducted for

Abstract: Many failures of retaining walls during earthquakes occurred near waterfront. A reasonably accurate evaluation of earthquake effects under such circumstance requires proven analytical models for dynamic earth pressure, ...

Abstract: It is important to understand the seismic response of quay walls in order to design these structures against earthquake loading. Centrifuge experiments were carried out at Cambridge University on gravity quay walls. In ...

Abstract: There is an increasing tendency for buildings in urban areas to have basements. However, the coseismic behavior of these structures is not well understood. Dynamic centrifuge experiments were performed to investigate the ...

Abstract: Rockfill is commonly used for construction of artificial islands, breakwaters, jetties, quay walls, coastal defenses, protective barriers for reclaimed land, and even as ship impact protection structures around bridge ...
