Abstract: Nonlinear dynamic analyses (NDAs) of embankment dams of different heights founded on a spatially variable, liquefiable alluvial layer are used to examine factors influencing embankment deformations and develop guidance on ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional nonlinear dynamic analyses (NDAs) are performed for a series of hypothetical embankment dams on a spatially variable liquefiable foundation layer to evaluate the utility of representing the foundation layer ...

Abstract: This case study presents an application of a conditional transition probability method for interpreting subsurface stratigraphy for the interbedded alluvium underlying Perris Dam, and evaluating the effects of stratigraphic ...
