This paper presents new correlations for assessment of the likelihood of initiation (or “triggering”) of soil liquefaction. These new correlations eliminate several sources of bias intrinsic to previous, similar correlations, and provide greatly reduced overall ...

<p>During the December 26th, 2003 Bam earthquake, continuous ruptures with a consistent right-lateral strike-slip of a few centimeters occurred north of Bam. A 3km long strand of ruptures coincides exactly with the trace of the geologic Bam fault. These ruptures ...

<p>An extensive review of case histories of embankment dam behavior during earthquake was undertaken after several major embankment dams were severely shaken by the 1990 Philippines earthquake. The objectives of the study, which continues to date, were to ...

<p>A simple and powerful method for simulating ground motions is to combine parametric or functional descriptions of the ground motion&rsquo;s amplitude spectrum with a random phase spectrum modified such that the motion is distributed over a duration related ...

<p>The geometry of the ruptured areas and the coseismic slip distribution data are key to highlighting the behavior of seismic faults. This information is generally retrieved from field investigations and geodetic measurements or synthetic aperture radar (SAR) ...

<p>This paper presents the preliminary results on the possible reception of over-horizon VHF radio signals from a FM (frequency modulation) transmitter during abnormal situations (probably in close association with earthquakes).</p>

<p>In this paper, we present a broad overview of the field case histories available for improved sites that have been subjected to strong ground shaking. This work is part of a larger research project intended to establish relationships between remediation ...

Tidal stresses beneath the oceans can be up to an order of magnitude higher than those found in the continents because of the eects of loading by ocean tides. I have analyzed 1899 microearthquakes recorded during a 55-day experiment on the Endeavour segment ...

<p>This report summarizes the findings of the first phase of a long-term research program. It provides some preliminary results and recommendations for estimating (1) the amplitude of liquefaction-induced ground displacement<br />and (2) the probability for ...

<p>Recent records of seismic site response have documented a salient liquefaction-induced cyclic shear-deformation mechanism. During liquefaction, these ground acceleration records have suggested a possible strong influence of soil-skeleton dilation at large ...
