Evaluation of the Performance of Lateral Spread Displacement Empirical Models for Subduction Zone Earthquake Case Histories

Creator:

Bunn, Michael

Abstract:

Lateral spread is a pervasive type of liquefaction-induced ground failure that occurs on gentle slopes or near free-faces, such as river channels. Resulting horizontal displacements can reach up to several meters, and can be considerably damaging to foundations, bridges, roadways, pipelines, etc. In the 1990s, Bartlett and Youd (1992a, 1995)...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael Bunn for the degree
Shear reinforcement effects of discrete columns in liquefiable soils

Creator:

Rayamajhi, Deepak

Abstract:

Discrete columns, such as stone and soil-cement columns, are often used to improve the liquefaction resistance of loose sandy ground. In particular, stone columns are considered to increase resistance potential by densification, drainage, and reinforcement mechanisms. For silty soil, the shear stress reduction resulting from the reinforcing effect of stiffer...
