The possibility of ground water contamination by leachate escaping from a landfill is one of the main concerns associated with the liner failures of landfills. This report deals with this issue and especially the effects of an earthquake on landfills founded ...

This paper presents results of numerical analyses for the seismic response of step-like ground slopes in uniform visco-elastic soil, under vertically propagating SV seismic waves.

A seismotectonic map shows geologic, seismological, and other information that is pertinent to seismic hazards but previously was scattered among many sources. Afghanistan is part of the Eurasian plate. Afghan seismicity is driven by the relative northward ...

In this and two companion papers (9, 10), is reported on the nature of faulting in these great earthquakes based on seismological analyses of the extensive, openly available seismogram data set from the international Federation of Digital Seismic Networks ...

In this paper is presented a magnitude homogeneous earthquake catalogue spanning the twentieth century has been assembled for Greece and adjacent areas.

In this paper is analysed a procedure to generate physicallyconsistent earthquake-rupture models that should help make such simulations more accurate.

The studies being introduced here will aim to develop an analytical description of liquefaction potential of silty soils to be able to define the condition indicators to subdivide the mechanism leading to strain hardening, strain softening and, in the worst ...

The Mw 7.9, Denali fault earthquake (DFE) is the largest continental strike-slip earthquake to occur since the development of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). We use five interferograms, constructed using radar images from the Canadian ...

Damage from large Himalayan earthquakes recorded in Tibet and in Northern India suggests that earthquakes may attain M = 8.2. Seismic gaps along two-thirds of the Himalaya that have developed in the past five centuries, when combined with geodetic convergence ...

Contrary to many laboratory investigations, common empirical correlations from in situ tests consider that the increase in the percentage of fines leads to an increase of the cyclic liquefaction resistance of sands. This paper draws upon the integrated Critical ...
