Abstract: Finite-element simulations demonstrate the influence of underlying weak soil on mobilization of passive pressures in cohesionless deposits. Traditional passive earth pressure theories with typical angles of interface ...

Abstract: Three bridges supported on deep foundations that exhibited various performance levels in liquefied and laterally spreading ground are analyzed using a beam on nonlinear Winkler foundation method. The performance levels ...

Abstract: Platform structures are commonly utilized for various purposes including offshore drilling, processing, and support of offshore operations. A jacket is a supporting structure for deck facilities, ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper describes how a combination of high-resolution numerical modeling, a robust homogenization algorithm, and local pressure observations have been used to understand and reconcile time series of daily, ...
