Abstract: Dynamic soil-structure interaction effective stress analyses are performed to identify key trends in the settlement of buildings with shallow foundations affected by soil liquefaction. Over 1,3 analyses are performed by ...

Abstract: Seismic slope displacements are estimated for earth structures or natural slopes subjected to interface earthquakes in subduction zones. The fully coupled, nonlinear seismic slope displacement model captures the important ...

Abstract: The development of shear rupture in granular media due to boundary deformation was captured using the distinct element method (DEM). Assemblages of nonspherical, three-dimensional particles undergoing direct shear test ...

Abstract: Abstract Discrete element method (DEM) simulations are performed to investigate the role of relative density in developing soil arching in an assemblage of particles due to downward trapdoor displacement. The effects of ...

Abstract: Abstract Arch-like structures form in granular materials when particles flow through an opening. This phenomenon manifests in many engineering applications such as hopper flow, silo discharge, and sand production in ...

Abstract: Insights regarding the response of shallow foundation soils from building sites in the central business district (CBD) of Christchurch, New Zealand, that experienced liquefaction during the 21–211 Canterbury earthquake ...
