<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 ...

In this paper deterministic seismic hazard analysis was performed for the city of Corinth.

The paper discusses alternative approaches to stability analyses including the traditional deterministic principle, the so-called partial factor principle and the probabilistic approach which assesses the probability of failure rather than the factor of safety ...

Engineering judgment has always played a predominant role in geotechnical design and construction. Until earlier this century, most of this judgment was based on experience and precedents. The role of judgment in geotechnical practice has undergone significant ...
