Seismically-induced landslides can be detrimental to urban communities, often resulting in significant damage and repair costs, blockage of lifeline connection routes and utilities …
Traditional liquefaction hazard maps are useful tools for preliminary engineering site assessment and policy development. However, these maps should not be used for site …
In the 1990s, Bartlett and Youd introduced empirical equations for predicting horizontal displacement from liquefaction-induced lateral spreading; these equations have become …

Past researchers have introduced performance-based methods to simultaneously account for the various sources of uncertainty in the prediction of lateral spread displacements …
Lateral spreading is a prevalent geotechnical problem associated with earthquake-induced liquefaction, often occurring at gentle slopes of loose, saturated sand near bodies of water …
Geotechnical borehole information is often used for liquefaction hazard mapping, but can be highly variable in terms of quantity and quality. In addition, geotechnical borehole logs are …
This report presents a fully probabilistic method for regional seismically induced landslide hazard analysis and mapping. The method considers the most current predictions for strong …
Earthquake-induced liquefaction may result in the lateral spread displacement of soil down gently sloping ground or towards a free-face, causing severe and costly damage to various …
This paper presents liquefaction-induced lateral spread and ground settlement maps for the Salt Lake Valley for a M7. 0 scenario event on the Wasatch fault and for two probabilistic …
