This research involves shake table testing of 1g scale models that mimic the coupled seismic response of a structure on a shallow mat foundation and the foundation soil (termed soil-foundation-structure-interaction or SFSI).

A total of 15 persons has been part of this 5 days field investigation in order to support the Spanish IGNintervention on the field after the Lorca earthquake. X. Goula, Leader of the Seismic Group of theInstitut of Geology of Catalunya was the coordinator ...

From February 22 to March 19, 2011, a team organized by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) and the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center investigated the effects of the Christchurch earthquake.

This report summarizes the preliminary findings of field investigation studies performed after Van-Tabanlı Earthquake (Mw=7.1). The intention of the reconnaissance studies was to retrieve perishable field data. The most attention was given to the compilation ...

Saturday, 27 February 2010, at 6h34 UT, an Earthquake of magnitude 8.8 occurred on the Chilean subduction near the cities of Concepcion, Constitucion and Valparaiso. This event takes place in a long list of earthquakes which have been occurring all along the ...

Radar interferometry from the ALOS satellite captured the coseismic ground deformation associated with the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule, Chile earthquake. The ALOS interferograms reveal a sharp transition in fringe pattern at ∼150 km from the trench axis that is diagnostic ...

On Saturday, February 27, 2010, at 03:34 a.m. local time (06:34:14 UTC), an Mw 8.8 earthquake struck the central south region of Chile, affecting an area with a population exceeding eight million people, including 6.1M, 0.8M, and 0.9M in the urban areas around ...

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 is about a reconnaissance team that studied the area of L'Aquila after the April 6th, 2009 earthquake.

<p>We conducted palaeoseismic studies along the North Anatolian fault both east and west of the Marmara Sea to evaluate its recent surface rupture history in relation to the well-documentedhistorical record of earthquakes in the region, and to assess the hazard ...
