The prediction of liquefaction and resulting displacements is a major concern for earth structures located in regions of moderate to high seismicity. In this paper a numerical procedure is used in which both generation and dissipation of pore fluid pressure ...

In this paper a dynamic analysis procedure which captures the element data observed in cyclic tests and verified by comparison with model tests and field experience, is applied to Mochikoshi dam. Based on such analyses, implications for design of impoundment ...

A study comparing a three-dimensional extension of the Bishop simplified method with other limit equilibrium solutions is presented. Very good correspondence is found in cases of rotational and symmetric sliding surfaces, such as ellipsoids. The Bishop method ...
