This paper describes the potential of wireless sensing networks to improve geotechnical field monitoring and the use of wireless sensors in two on-going geotechnical research projects. Both studies are Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Research ...

The behavior of soil retaining structures during earthquakes is investigated. Seismic excitation imparts inertial forces to the soil retaining system, and, once the seismic acceleration reaches the yield level, the structure exhibits permanent displacements. ...

In this paper a new methodology is proposed for the geotechnical analysis of strength of paleoseismic shaking using liquefaction effects.
