Earthquake Engineering

Earthquake engineering is defined as the scientific branch devoted to the protection of society from earthquake hazards. More specifically earthquake engineering is defined as the behavior study of structures and geostructures during and after an earthquake. Geotechpedia provides a plethora of papers concerning earthquake engineering.

A PERSPECTIVE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BASIS OF DESIGN FOR EVALUATION OF SEISMICALLY-INDUCED OFFSHORE GEOHAZARDS (2016)
<p>Although numerous studies have been conducted, a recommended practice for incorporation of earthquake loading into the geotechnical design considerations for subsea structures such as wells, manifolds, and PLETs, and pipelines is not consistent. Industry ...

DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES DURING EARTHQUAKE (2016)
<p>During earthquake there is a considerable damage to structures which are above the ground level as well as to those structures which are completely underground. Several studies were carried out for analysing dynamic behavior of these structures. The underground ...

MANGROVE FOREST AGAINST DYKE-BREAK-INDUCED TSUNAMI ON RAPIDLY SUBSIDING COASTS (2016)
<p>Thin coastal dykes typically found in developing countries may suddenly collapse due to rapid land subsidence, material ageing, sea-level rise, high wave attack, earthquakes, landslides, or a collision with vessels. Such a failure could trigger dam-break ...

LITERATURE SURVEY OF AVAILABLE EARTHQUAKE HAZARD ASSESSMENT STUDIES RELATED TO NORTH EASTERN REGION (2015)
 
<p>The Northeast India region is one of the most active zones in the world; the region is jawed between the two arcs, the Himalayan arc to the north and the Indo-Burmese arc to the east. The region bounded by latitude 22-290N and longitude 90-980 E, produced ...

SEISMIC SOIL LIQUEFACTION FOR DETERMINISTIC AND PROBABILISTIC APPROACH BASED ON IN SITU TEST (CPTU) DATA (2015)
<p>One of the most devastating effects of earthquakes in the seismic regions is liquefaction. Many research works have been done in this field and at present different methods are available for the liquefaction potential assessment. The liquefaction is a very ...

SELECTION OF GROUND MOTION PREDICTION EQUATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE MODEL (2015)
<p>Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) relate ground-motion intensity measures to variables describing earthquake source, path, and site effects. We select from many available GMPEs those models recommended for use in seismic hazard assessments in the ...

A STUDY OF EFFECTIVENESS OF GROUND IMPROVEMENT FOR LIQUEFACTION MITIGATION (2014)
<p>The results of this study show that failure of the examined caisson quay wall is induced by the deformation of the foundation and backfill soils. For all the analyzed remedial methods, improving the top 10 to 15 m of foundation soil under the wall and first ...

EVALUATION OF LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL OF SOILS USING SDS DATA IN CHRISTCHURCH (2014)
<p>During severe earthquake shaking, soil liquefaction is a major concern for structures constructed on saturated loose sandy soils. A large number of civil engineering structures were damaged due to liquefaction during huge recent earthquakes in Christchurch. ...

GEOTECHNICAL DESIGN WITH APPARENT SEISMIC SAFETY FACTORS WELL-BELLOW 1 (2014)
<p>The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an &ldquo;engineering&rdquo; apparent seismic factor of safety less ...

INFLUENCE OF TOPOGRAPHY AND BASEMENT DEPTH ON SURFACE RUPTURE MORPHOLOGY REVEALED FROM LIDAR AND FIELD MAPPING, HOPE FAULT, NEW ZEALAND (2014)
<p>High-resolution airborne LiDAR and field mapping were used to investigate a 29 km-long section of the Hurunui segment of the Hope Fault concealed beneath beech forest. Approximately 20 km of the dextral strike-slip principal slip zone (PSZ) was identified ...
