Soil liquefaction is a major geo-hazard. As liquefaction could occur anywhere in a sand
layer and result in large-scale lateral spreading, treatment for liquefaction needs to be …

Several techniques have been developed in order to mitigate damage to buildings during
and after liquefaction events. Benefits of using vertical drains have been verified by …

Finite-element (FE) simulations are increasingly providing a versatile environment for
conducting lateral ground deformation studies. In this environment, mitigation strategies may …

There are limited information on how an artificially non-liquefiable soil layer created by
ground improvement beneath shallow foundations can help the reduction of liquefaction …

Instability of subgrade soil sometimes associated with soil fluidisation can lead to
uncontrollable deformation and failure at a critical number of loading cycles for a given cyclic …

To analyze seismic wave propagation in geological structures, it is possible to consider
various numerical approaches: the finite difference method, the spectral element method …

Previous studies have revealed that prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) are effective in
stabilizing the soft subgrade soils under traffic-induced cyclic loads. A consolidation model …

This study examines the effectiveness of a prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) installed in
reconstituted soft clay, where a large cyclic triaxial device was used to simulate repeated …

In this paper, shredded waste tires are used as a substitution for gravel materials and their
effect on stone column's behavior is investigated. An experimental study is carried out on …

Loose saturated sandy soils may undergo liquefaction under cyclic loading, generating
positive excess pore pressures due to their contractile nature and inability to dissipate pore …
