<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 ...

<p>A series of full scale tests have been undertaken to assess the performance of ground strengthening methods to improve seismic performance of liquefiable soils in the Christchurch area. The tests used sequences of explosive charges to simulate seismic shaking ...

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, ...

A short discussion on various ground improvement methods available for liquefaction mitigation was presented highlighting the importance of columnar inclusions. Construction methods of different granular columnar inclusions like sand compaction piles/ granular ...

This report describes three centrifuge tests carried out as part of the NEMISREF project, at 50g,to investigate the performance of cemented zones as a liquefaction remediation measure beneaththe base of existing buildings.

This report describes three centrifuge tests carried out as part of the NEMISREF project, at 50g,to investigate the behaviour of containment walls as a liquefaction remediation measure forexisting buildings.

This report describes three centrifuge tests carried out as part of the NEMISREF project, at 50g,to investigate the behaviour of inclined, non-load-bearing micro-piles as a liquefactionremediation measure for existing buildings.

<p>The ground improvement performed at the site of two 190-ft (57.9 m) diameter, 40-ft (12.2 m) high, 8 million-gallon (30,300 m3), circular steel water storage tanks consisted of installation of stone columns to mitigate liquefaction and lateral spreading ...

<p>The seismic performance of bridge structures and appurtenant components (i.e., approach spans, abutments and foundations) has been well documented following recent earthquakes worldwide. This experience demonstrates that<br />bridges are highly vulnerable ...

<p>Special Publication 117 (SP 117), published by the California Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology in 1997, presents guidelines for evaluation of seismic hazards other than surface fault-rupture and for recommending mitigation measures. ...
