Use of Controlled Blasting to Quantify the Dynamic, In-Situ, Nonlinear Inelastic Response of Soils

Creator:

Jana, Amalesh

Abstract:

The seismic response of deep deposits of liquefiable and cyclic-softening susceptible soils has presented the geotechnical profession with significant engineering challenges. Strong ground motions may serve to soften soils under cyclic shear, trigger liquefaction, and produce damaging displacements as a consequence. This study improves the understanding of the in-situ, nonlinear,...

Evaluation and Modification of a Thixotropic Fluid Model for Liquefaction Triggering with Application to Laboratory Tests and Lateral Spreading

Creator:

Brown, Tovey M.

Abstract:

Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a large contributor to damage observed following seismic events. Commonly observed damage consists of significant ground and structural failure due to the deformation of large volumes of soil due to soil liquefaction and lateral spreading. A significant focus of geotechnical seismic research concentrates on the development and...
