The dynamic behaviour of cantilever retaining walls under earthquake action is explored by means of 1-g shaking table testing, carried out on scaled models at the Bristol [...]

The most important foundation design drivers are the Ultimate, Fatigue and Serviceability Limit State requirements. The assumption of aligned wind and waves is considered [...]

It is observed from the past earthquakes that the pile foundations in liquefiable soil are very susceptible to damage or failure. Often, the structures in liquefied soil [...]

THE COLLAPSE OF NON-ENGINEERED MASONRY IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CAUSES OF DEATH IN MAJOR EARTHQUAKE EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD. THIS PAPER INVESTIGATES A RECENTLY DEVELOPED RE [...]

Following the 1964 Niigata earthquake many bridges, including the Showa Bridge, over the Shinano river collapsed. The newly-constructed Showa Bridge demonstrated one of t [...]

A pile becomes laterally unsupported when the soil liquefies during strong earthquakes. This makes it vulnerable to buckling instability. Buckling is a non-ductile method [...]

Engineers often need to use site-specific earthquake ground motions for designing foundations. Seismic design of foundation requires non-linear time history analysis for [...]

This paper presents a case study on the 22m high six-floor Port and Customs Office tower in Kandla port that tilted during the 2001 Bhuj earthquake (India). The tower bui [...]

Dynamic soil-pile interaction is undoubtedly a complex phenomenon. Though this interaction is well established in competent non-liquefied soil, the same for liquefied soi [...]

Post-earthquake reconnaissance of the 2001 Bhuj (India) earthquake and the 1995 Kobe (Japan) earthquake reveals that the pile supported structures still collapse after ma [...]
