This paper examines the structural behavior of bridge timber piles under eccentric compression loading. Samples of the piles were retrieved from a recently collapsed bridge and experimentally tested under compression and combined compression and flexure. The ...

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

In this paper a strength-ratio based approach to liquefaction analysis developed by the author is briefly presented.

This paper is about a laboratory database of triaxial compression test results that was collected to examine the use of strength ratios for liquefaction analysis.

This paper presents a procedure to evaluate the triggering of liquefaction in ground subjected to a static shear stress using the yield or peak strength ratio back-calculated from available static loading- and deformation-induced liquefaction flow failures ...

This paper presents improved relationships to estimate the liquefied strength ratio from CPT or SPT penetration resistance.

Causes of bridge abutment and roadway differential settlement. Settlement of roadway pavement surfaces near highway bridge abutments often leads to abrupt grade differences at the abutments. This reports summarizes the results of a study identifying the causes ...

Relationships between cone penetration tip resistance and the liquefaction potential of sandy soils are presented to facilitate use of the cone penetration test (CPT) in liquefaction assessments. The relationships are based on 180 liquefaction and nonliquefaction ...
