Abstract: Surface fault rupture during recent earthquakes has significantly damaged structures. Although several researchers have studied surface fault rupture, the effects of fault rupture propagating through soil that has been ...

Abstract: Surface fault rupture can be damaging to structures built on or near active faults if the hazard is not addressed properly. Fault-induced angular distortion and lateral ground strain can cause beams to yield and eventually ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations of earthquake fault rupture propagation can be used to design structures to resist damage from induced ground deformations. Several researchers have developed numerical models for analyzing the responses ...

Abstract: Sonic anemometer observations were made 10 m above ground level for a period of 1 yr. From these data, Eulerian autocorrelation functions were computed for the horizontal and vertical wind velocity fluctuations for low ...

Abstract: Long-term spatial and temporal variations in temperatures have been investigated in covers, wastes, and liners at four municipal solid waste landfills located in different climatic regions: Alaska, British Columbia, Michigan, ...

Abstract: Cover temperature variations were determined at four municipal solid waste landfills located in different climatic regions in North America: Michigan, New Mexico, Alaska, and British Columbia. Cover temperatures varied ...
