<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 ...

<p>Since 1930, the analysis of slope stability is done according to the limit equilibrium approach. Several methods were developed of which certain remain applicable because of their simplicity. However, major disadvantages of these methods are (1) they do ...

This chapter is a guide to the geotechnical designer who is responsible for providing geotechnical/seismicinput parameters to the structural engineers for their use in structural design of the transportation infrastructure (e.g., bridges, retaining walls, ...

<p>The stability analysis of rock slopes has been a challenging task for engineers <br />because the rock mass constituting the slope often has discontinuities in various <br />forms, resulting in different types of slope failures. The plane failure is one ...

<p>This paper presents a summary of design methodologies commonly adopted in Malaysia for bored piles under axial compression together with a brief discussion on the construction aspects of bored piles.</p>
