Abstract: Buildings are often located in close proximity to each other in urban settings. Seismic structure-soil-structure interaction near two adjacent buildings (SSSI2) on liquefiable soils has previously been investigated and ...

Abstract: Ground densification is a common countermeasure against soil liquefaction. The state-of-practice for designing ground densification is typically based on empirical estimates of liquefaction triggering and ground settlement ...

Abstract: Stiff in-ground structural or diaphragm walls have previously been used as a liquefaction countermeasure for existing building structures. The available design methodologies for typical mitigation techniques are based on ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a probabilistic predictive procedure for a foundation’s permanent average settlement on liquefiable soils improved with ground densification. The proposed procedure is based on 770 three-dimensional ...

Abstract: An indentation test was developed to indirectly determine the effective tensile strength of lightly cemented sand by iterative method. The description of the test is followed by a discussion and comparison of the determination ...

Abstract: In urban environments, structures are often built in close proximity to each other. Seismic coupling and structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) are known to affect system accelerations, settlement, and tilt with ...
