Abstract: Failure of gravity quay walls induced by earthquakes has been widely observed in the field. This paper studies the behavior of gravity quay walls under earthquake loading using data from three centrifuge tests. Failure ...

Abstract: Anisotropy in elastic shear modulus

Abstract: The stability of a soil slope is analyzed based on the experimental results of a centrifuge test. The failure mechanism recorded in the model test closely resembled that which occurred in the field. Excess pore pressure ...

Abstract: A rotating block method is developed to calculate the rotational displacements of gravity retaining walls based on rigid foundations under seismic loading. The method is similar to the pseudostatic sliding block method of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simplified mathematical model for modeling the flexible bottom plate in an unanchored cylindrical liquid storage tank partially uplifted under the static tilt condition. In ...

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: Failure of foundations induced by earthquakes occurred many times in the past. There is a general lack of data recorded during earthquakes in the field about seismic response of such foundations. According to the results ...
