Existing methods of evaluation based on the undrained behavior cannot always provide a realistic prediction to post-liquefaction deformation and strength behavior of saturated sands. Redistribution of water content or void redistribution in saturated sand ...

A method is presented for calculations of irreversible displacements of multiblock structures subjected to seismic excitation. Use is made of the kinematic approach of limit analysis. To make the analysis tractable a hodograph representing distribution of ...

<p>Nowadays a number of tunnels are constructed in urban areas in weak rocks with high or low overburden. In both cases geodetic methods are used to monitor displacements and control stability. In special cases additional other measurement systems are used ...

<p>GPS technology with high sampling rates allows scientifically justified and economically feasible dynamic measurements of relative displacements. In this paper is described an experiment whereby the displacement responses of a simulated tall building are ...
