Liquefaction, which can be defined as a loss of strength and stiffness in soils, is one of the
major causes of damage to buildings and infrastructure during an earthquake. To overcome …

As it is not uncommon that irrigation has triggered landslides in the Chinese Loess Plateau,
a full-scale field testing in a typical cracked plateau in Heifangtai, Gansu Province of China …

Small dams are critical infrastructures, which provide different kinds of benefits, such as
water supply, flood control, hydropower generation. Existing small dams are typically …

The increasing importance of performance-based earthquake engineering analysis points
out the necessity to assess quantitatively the risk of liquefaction of embankment-type …

In order to study the seismic response of the embankment slopes with different reinforcing
measures, shaking table tests were performed on three embankment slope models (ie …

Abstract On February 6, 2023, Türkiye experienced a significant earthquake with a
magnitude of M w 7.8 1, followed by four additional earthquakes throughout the day …

As a result, continuous decrease in effective stress and increase in pore water pressure,
liquefaction that is triggered by earthquakes can harm the foundation of existing building …

Evaluating behavior of earth dams under dynamic loads is one of the most important
problems associated with the initial design of such massive structures. This study focuses on …

Many earth dams around the world are located in zones characterised by moderate to high
seismicity. Their seismic stability can be particularly critical for the safety of the areas in the …

This study pertains to prediction of liquefaction susceptibility of unconsolidated sediments
using artificial neural network (ANN) as a prediction model. The backpropagation neural …
