Abstract: The geotechnical earthquake engineering community often adopts empirically derived models. Unfortunately, the community has not embraced the value of model validation, leaving practitioners with little information on the ...

Abstract: Empirical liquefaction models (ELMs) are the standard approach for predicting the occurrence of soil liquefaction. These models are typically based on in situ index tests, such as the standard penetration test (SPT) and ...

Abstract: The Calvert Cliffs form much of the western coastline of the Chesapeake Bay in Calvert County, Maryland, and are actively eroding, resulting in a critical situation for many homes in close proximity to the slope’s crest. ...
