The focus of the present study is upon the influence of liquefaction on the dynamic impedance (stiffness and damping) of rigid square footings resting on liquefiable soil [...]

The feasibility of a new geotechnical seismic isolation system for pile-supported structures, such as bridge piers on monopiles, is investigated. The isolation system uti [...]

A novel method for reducing the seismic forces imposed on pile-supported bridge piers, is presented. To this end, a flexible bridge pier founded on a single pile is enhan [...]

Recent experimental and theoretical studies suggest that deep foundations may be avoided in a liquefaction regime, in the presence of a non-liquefiable layer on top of th [...]
