Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of random heterogeneity of soil properties on bearing capacity
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of random heterogeneity of soil properties on bearing capacity was examined and Monte Carlo simulation was used in combination with non-linear finite element analysis to determine the overall fragility curves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of spatial variability on soil liquefaction: some design recommendations
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of spatial variability of soil properties on the behavior of saturated soil deposits subjected to seismic excitation are analyzed, and their implications for geotechnical design are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of homogeneous nonGaussian stochastic vector fields
TL;DR: In this paper, a spectral representation-based simulation methodology is proposed to generate sample functions of a multi-variate, multi-dimensional, non-Gaussian stochastic vector field, according to a prescribed cross-spectral density matrix and prescribed (nonGaussian) marginal probability distribution functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Centrifuge validation of a numerical model for dynamic soil liquefaction
Radu Popescu,Jean H. Prevost +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model based on multi-yield plasticity theory is presented to validate a series of centrifuge model soil tests performed by two centrifuge laboratories within the context of the VELACS (verification of liquefaction analysis by centrifuge studies) project.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of nonlinear porous media with applications to soil liquefaction
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element implementation of Biot's theory and two numerical applications involving the seismic behavior of saturated soil deposits are presented. But the authors focus on the nonlinear regime of saturated porous media.
