Abstract: A broad range of coarse-grained soils that vary in gradation uniformities, maximum particle sizes, and absolute densities are prone to liquefaction during earthquake shaking. However, clean, poorly graded sands form much ...

Abstract: Large earthquakes and tsunamis can damage or lead to the collapse of lifeline bridges, resulting in human and socioeconomic losses as well as prolonged recovery times. Although many simulation models are available for the ...

Abstract: Centrifuge modeling was used to study the performance of loose sand treated with microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) to improve liquefaction resistance to triggering and reduce the total and differential ...
