Abstract: Pore-water pressure buildup strongly affects seismic permanent displacement of the slopes constituted from saturated soils. Previous attempts simulating the generation of excess pore pressures (or decrease in soil strength) ...

Abstract: The tunnels located in the shallow depths of loose saturated sand are significantly prone to liquefaction-induced uplift. Research works are, therefore, in progress to propose efficient techniques for mitigating uplift. ...

Abstract: In this study, the ultimate bearing capacity and settlement of square and strip foundations in the presence of upward seepage were assessed using physical modeling. The experiments were conducted in two series with different ...

Abstract: The seismic landslide-pipe problem was investigated numerically using finite-difference code and a bounding surface soil constitutive model [Simple ANIsotropic SAND constitutive model (SANISAND)]. The SANISAND model was ...

Abstract: The simplified shear-wave velocity (Vs)–based procedure of liquefaction potential assessment was basically developed for terrigenous deposits, whereas its applicability for calcareous soils is not fully recognized. The ...

Abstract: Drainage techniques can be employed to reduce damage of pile rafts in liquefiable ground by decreasing the build-up of excess pore water pressure and maintaining soil stiffness during earthquakes. This paper aims to evaluate ...
