Development of Model for Shear-Wave Velocity of Municipal Solid Waste
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The shear-wave velocity and associated small-strain shear modulus of municipal solid waste (MSW) are important engineering parameters in evaluating the seismic response of MSW landfills as well as in characterizing the ...
Liquefaction Potential of Recent Fills versus Natural Sands Located in High-Seismicity Regions Using Shear-Wave Velocity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The liquefaction potential of clean and silty sands is examined on the basis of the field measurement of the shear-wave velocity,
Potential Solutions to Common Barriers Experienced during the Delivery of Building Renovations for Improved Energy Performance: Literature Review and Case Study
