In shallow foundations, the third bearing capacity factor, Nγ, has been found to show a decreasing tendency with increasing the foundation size. It is supported by experimental observations and related mainly to stress level dependent nature of the soil. On ...

In this paper the dynamic response of the ground surface subjected to vertically traveling two dimensional harmonic SH waves in the presence of a single or two canyons is investigated using boundary element method. The models consist of one and two semicircular ...

Developments in geotechnique since the First International Conference on Seismology and Earthquake Engineering are summarised in this paper. Major earthquakes have made possible the validation and improvement of soil subjected to liquefaction by field performance ...
