The understanding of ground motions in the near-fault region is important for seismic risk
assessment in a number of populated areas that overlie fault zones. Understanding the …

Essentials of Offshore Structures: Framed and Gravity Platforms examines the engineering
ideas and offshore drilling platforms for exploration and production. This book offers a clear …

A full-scale field investigation was performed to determine the effects of soil improvement on
the seismic resistance of piles in soft clay. A soil improvement method, called cement deep …

Assessment of seismic performance and estimation of permanent displacements for
submerged slopes require the accurate description of the soil's stress–strain-strength …

This paper presents a numerical model of the seismic behavior for the embankment
constructed on micropile composite foundation. The effect of micropiles on soil …

Centrifuge tests were performed to investigate the effects of ground improvement on the
seismic behavior of pile groups in soft clay. The soil profile consisted of four lightly …

Chair: Adrian Rodriguez-Marek Micropiles are grouted and small diameter piles that are
traditionally used in foundation retrofit. Experimental evidence has indicated that micropiles …

In recent years, the stability of submerged slopes of the continental shelf has emerged as a
fundamental element in the assessment of risk and the prediction of performance for …
