Effective stress analyses are conducted aiming to provide Class A predictions for a seismic centrifuge test of a multi-block gravity quay-wall. Two different codes are us [...]

Permanent ground deformation is one of the most damaging hazards for buried lifelines such as gas and oil pipelines. The most frequent cause of permanent ground deformati [...]

Dynamic analysis of embedded foundations like pile groups have received considerable attention in the past. Most existing approaches are established in the frequency doma [...]

The paper highlights the results of a numerical study of the seismic response of a tall bridge-pier type structure supported on surface foundation. Both the structure and [...]

While seismic codes do not allow plastic deformation of piles, the Kobe earthquake has shown that limited structural yielding and cracking of piles may not be always detr [...]

The paper investigates experimentally the behavior of a structure-footing-four piles system under the action of seismic shaking causing liquefaction of a critical soil la [...]
