Although the in-situ shear wave velocity tests have been used commonly as engineering testing techniques and shear wave velocity V s has gradually become a basic index fo [...]

Liquefaction is one of the important reasons in earthquake damages. The response and damage for the foundations and underground structures are dominated by soil deformati [...]

Liquefaction is one of the typical damages in earthquakes. The liquefaction area in Tangshan Earthquake in China on July 1976 has reached to 2400 KM2, accompanied by a la [...]

The asymmetrical characteristics of PGA and its effect on the soil dynamic property are investigated. The effect of asymmetrical characteristics of seismic loads on the s [...]

At 14:28 May 12 2008, a catastrophic earthquake of magnitude 8.0, the epicenter of which locates at Wenchuan, struck Sichuan Province (N31.00, E103.40). The earthquake ca [...]

The liquefaction-induced damage phenomena have occurred during many earthquakes in last century in China, including the Heyuan Earthquake in 1962, the Xingtai Earthquake [...]

The method of liquefaction prediction is very important to seismic design of foundations and engineering structures. The liquefaction prediction method in Chinese seismic [...]
