Current seismic codes propose designing all new buildings in isolation from their
neighbours. As a result, all modified seismic risks associated with interbuilding dynamic …

Based on the 1–3 identical high-rise buildings with pile-raft foundation, a series of building-
site two-dimensional finite element analysis models with different building spacings is …

In urban environments, structures are often built in close proximity to each other. Seismic
coupling and structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) are known to affect system …

Current practice in seismic design often assumes free-field conditions for the estimation of
liquefaction-induced building settlement. This is inaccurate, as a structure places additional …

This paper presents probabilistic models for predicting the residual and peak transient tilt of
mat-founded structures on liquefiable ground. First, the study presents a completely …

Increasing the resilience of structures to seismically induced soil liquefaction is a major
objective for the earthquake engineering community. Increasingly, soil drains are being …

Ground densification is a common countermeasure against soil liquefaction. The state-of-
practice for designing ground densification is typically based on empirical estimates of …

The evaluation of the excess pore water pressure ratio (ru), the ratio of the excess pore
water pressure of the soil, is a defining approach to assessing liquefaction occurrence …

This paper studies the effect of structure–soil–structure interaction (SSSI) on the seismic
response of neighboring structures with shallow foundations on liquefiable sand. The …

The 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence produced significant damage in
Christchurch. Much of the observed damage was related to soil liquefaction. The availability …
