Here are presented high-resolution measurements of interseismic deformation across the southern San Andreas fault system using a well-populated catalog of space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar data.

In this study is determined the stress regime acting along the East Anatolian Fault Zone between Turkoglu (Kahramanmaras) and Celikhan (Adiyaman), from the Neocene to present-day, based on the inversion of striations measured on faults and on the focal mechanisms ...

<p>Based on the results of this study, a soil deposit is considered to be susceptible to liquefaction or cyclic mobility if the ratio of the water content to liquid limit is equal to or greater than 0.85 (wc/LL &gt; 0.85), and the soil plasticity index is ...

The behavior of soil retaining structures during earthquakes is investigated. Seismic excitation imparts inertial forces to the soil retaining system, and, once the seismic acceleration reaches the yield level, the structure exhibits permanent displacements. ...

In this paper the submerged portions of the North Anatolia Fault system beneath the Marmara Sea were studied with high-resolution multibeam bathymetry, subbottom profiling and sediment cores. The major objectives were to learn about the seismic and tectonic ...

Heating during frictional sliding is a major component of the energy budget of earthquakes and represents a potential weakening mechanism. It is therefore important to investigate how heat dissipates during sliding on simulated faults. They are presented results ...

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.
