Abstract: This paper presents experimental results and analysis of six model centrifuge experiments conducted on the

Abstract: Passive site stabilization is a new technology proposed for nondisruptive mitigation of liquefaction risk at developed sites susceptible to liquefaction. It is based on the concept of slowly injecting colloidal silica at ...

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 centrifuge tests were conducted to examine self-weight consolidation, dynamic response, liquefaction potential, and slope stability of mine tailings alone and in mixtures with waste rock. Mixture ratio of waste ...

Abstract: The effect of high overburden pressure above 1 atm on sand liquefaction potential is typically evaluated based on cyclic undrained testing, with the overburden pressure correction factor, Kσ<1.0 and Kσ decreasing ...

Abstract: Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. The effects of the hurricane were particularly devastating in the city of New Orleans. Most of the damage was due to the failure of the levee system ...

Abstract: Centrifuge modeling of the 17th Street Canal and Orleans Canal North levees was performed in this study. During hurricane Katrina the levees on the 17th Street Canal failed, leading to breaches in the outfall canal in the ...

Abstract: The results of the six centrifuge models of instrumented single pile foundations presented in a companion paper, are used to calibrate two limit equilibrium (LE) methods to evaluate bending response and factor of safety ...

Abstract: The paper presents results of eight centrifuge models of vertical single piles and pile groups subjected to earthquake-induced liquefaction and lateral spreading. The centrifuge experiments, conducted in a slightly inclined ...
