The University of Kentucky and Lanzhou Institute of Seismology in Gansu Province and other institutes of the China Earthquake Administration established a collaborative r [...]

As viewed from concept, seismic subsidence of loess is an abrupt settlement of soil due to earthquake loading in non-saturated and low moisture conditions. In laboratory [...]

Now pile foundation is widely used in the earthquake-prone loess area of China. However, negative skin friction (NSF) along piles induced by a sudden settlement of loess [...]

Rural villages in China often fall victims of earthquake. The main cause of high seismic vulnerability is lacking seismic design and poor construction habit. With the rap [...]

One primary aim of the field testing in this paper is to observe the basic characteristics of negative skin friction (NSF) along pile in seismic subsidence caused by a sh [...]
