Analysis of Site Liquefaction Using Earthquake Records
Mourad Zeghal,Ahmed-W. Elgamal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, surface and downhole accelerations, and pore-water pressures recorded during the 1987 earthquakes at a site in the Imperial Wildlife Management Area (Imperial County, Calif.) are used to obtain direct estimates of the average seismic shear stress-strain and effective stresspath histories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lotung Downhole Array. II: Evaluation of Soil Nonlinear Properties
TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of soil response during earthquake excitations, at a site in Lotung, Taiwan are identified using the Lotung large scale seismic test (LSST) data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lotung Downhole Array. I: Evaluation of Site Dynamic Properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed correlation and spectral analyses of the recorded downhole accelerations to evaluate shear wave propagation characteristics, variation of shear-wave velocity with depth, and site resonant frequencies and modal configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquefaction of reclaimed island in kobe, japan
TL;DR: In this paper, the acceleration histories recorded by downhole arrays represent a valuable direct source of information on site response during seismic excitation, and a computational simulation of this case history is performed in order to assess the mechanisms of site amplification and excess pore-pressure buildup.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupled continuum-discrete model for saturated granular soils
Usama El Shamy,Mourad Zeghal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled hydromechanical model was used to analyze mesoscale pore fluid flow and microscale solid phase deformation of saturated granular soils, and the fluid motion was idealized using averaged Navier-Stokes equations.
