<p>Near-fault ground motions often possess distinct characteristics, which can have strong influence on structural response. These include the rupture directivity effect in the fault-normal direction and the fling step in the fault-parallel direction. A site ...

This paper presents a complete methodology for both probabilistic and deterministic assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering potential based on the cone penetration test
CPT. A comprehensive worldwide set of CPT-based liquefaction field case histories ...

This paper presents new correlations for assessment of the likelihood of initiation (or “triggering”) of soil liquefaction. These new correlations eliminate several sources of bias intrinsic to previous, similar correlations, and provide greatly reduced overall ...
