  • Pore Water Pressure Response in Soil During Tsunami Loading : Numerical Formulation and Experimentation

    Creator:
    Abdollahi, Abbas
    Abstract:
    Tsunami loading can cause sediment instability, which can compromise the structural integrity of coastal buildings and infrastructure. To understand the process by which a tsunami can cause sediment instability, it is necessary to understand how the pore water pressure in the soil changes during tsunami loading. Tsunami run-up causes the...

  • Dynamic behavior of silty soils

    Creator:
    Sunitsakul, Jutha
    Abstract:
    The cyclic resistance of predominantly fine-grained soils has received considerable attention following ground and foundation failures at sites underlain by silt-rich soils during recent earthquakes. In several cases substantial ground deformation and reduced bearing capacity of silt soils has been attributed to excess pore pressure generation during cyclic loading. These...
