This book, whose primary aim is to describe liquefaction processes and their implications for
marine structures such as pipelines, sea outfalls, quay walls and caisson breakwaters …

In this paper the seismic response of simple slope geometries under vertically propagating
in-plane shear waves (SV waves) is assessed through two-dimensional finite element …

In geotechnical earthquake engineering, the seismic displacement is regarded as a more
balanced index to explain the co-seismic performance of soil slopes. The Newmark's sliding …

This paper gives a state-of-the-art review of seismic-induced liquefaction with special
reference to marine structures. The paper is organized in seven sections:(1) introduction;(2) …

Size and strain rate are two key factors that dramatically influence the estimation of rock
mechanical behaviors. To better understand the effects of size and strain rate on measured …

The paper concerns the dynamic behavior of a simple slope model subjected to
simultaneous horizontal and vertical excitations. The proposed method is based on …

Approaches commonly used to assess the seismic stability of slopes range from the
relatively simple pseudo-static method to more complicated nonlinear numerical methods …

Seismic performance of natural slopes, earth structures and solid-waste landfills can be
evaluated through displacement-based methods in which permanent displacements …

Following an overview of pertinent literature, this paper presents a new methodology for
estimating seismic coefficients for the performance-based design of earth dams and tall …

The vibration characteristics and dynamic responses of rock and soil under seismic load can
be estimated with dynamic finite element method (DFEM). Combining with the DFEM, the …
