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 [...]

Not only the ground failure but also the change of natural frequency of the site is induced by the liquefied layer, while from the vibration point of view the structure s [...]

The response and damage of the underground structure under the seismic action are usually controlled by the deformation of soils and the seismic design of the underground [...]

The shear modulus is the most basic parameter and can be attained by the experiments in the field or in the laboratory. The maximum dynamic shear modulus obtained in the [...]

The methods for detection of soil liquefaction from seismic records are being developed recently. The developed detection methods make it possible to capture the alterati [...]

The earthquake-induced asymmetrical settlement of buildings on saturated soil layer is one of the typical phenomena in earthquake damages, which will lead to the inclinat [...]

At present, the seismic design of structures is mainly based on the response spectra. The seismic responses for the deep foundations, the underground structures and struc [...]

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 [...]

The dynamic shear modulus (DSM) is the most basic soil parameter in earthquake or other dynamic loading conditions and can be obtained through testing in the field and in [...]

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 [...]
