<p>A study of San Andreas fault, based on local earthquakes and fault drilling samples</p>

A set of approximate, multivariable relations is established to evaluate soil effects on the peak horizontal acceleration, the peak horizontal velocity and the horizontal elastic response spectra (5% damping). The basic innovation of the approach is the use ...

<p>This research project addressed key needs for advancing the design of pile foundations in soil profiles that are susceptible to liquefaction and lateral spreading during earthquakes. A series of large-scale dynamic centrifuge model tests were performed ...

This paper will highlight a number of important recent and ongoing developments in soil liquefaction engineering, and will offer insights regarding research in progress, as well as suggestions regarding further advances needed.

Scenario earthquakes have been used for the design and safety assessment of nuclear power plant structures and equipments. Scenario earthquakes can be obtained from the deaggregation of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) results. In this study, ...

In this article is simulated near-fault strong ground motion using dynamic source models.

We examine the evolution of and the exchangebetween two forms of elastic energies stored in the quasistatic fault model of Ziv and Rubin [2003].

the following important issues, concerning the Athens, Greece earthquake of 07/09/1999, are addressed in this article: (a) the principal direction of ground shaking, (b) the accuracy of pure seismological methods for site characterization, (c) the effect of ...

This paper analyses the effect of fines content f(%) on cyclic liquefaction resistance in a Critical State Soil Mechanics context.

It is completed new paleoseismic studies along the Owens Valley fault to determine the age of pre-1872 earthquakes, to better bracket Holocene slip rates, and to understand better the role of the Owens Valley fault in accommodating right-lateral shear within ...
