Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the role of soil structure interaction and soil dynamics. It discusses case studies as well as physical and numerical models of geostructures. Infrastructure is the key to create a sustainable community. It affects our future well-being as well as the economic climate. Indeed, the infrastructure we are building today will shape tomorrow's communities. GeoMEast 2019 created a venue for researchers and practitioners from all over the world to share their expertise to advance the role of innovative geotechnology in developing sustainable infrastructure. It covers soil structure interaction under static and dynamic loads, dynamic behavior of soils, and soil liquefaction. It is hoped that this book contributes to further advance the state of the art for the next-generation infrastructure.

Book State of the Art and Practice in the Assessment of Earthquake Induced Soil Liquefaction and Its Consequences

Download or read book State of the Art and Practice in the Assessment of Earthquake Induced Soil Liquefaction and Its Consequences written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction (liquefaction) is a leading cause of earthquake damage worldwide. Liquefaction is often described in the literature as the phenomena of seismic generation of excess porewater pressures and consequent softening of granular soils. Many regions in the United States have been witness to liquefaction and its consequences, not just those in the west that people associate with earthquake hazards. Past damage and destruction caused by liquefaction underline the importance of accurate assessments of where liquefaction is likely and of what the consequences of liquefaction may be. Such assessments are needed to protect life and safety and to mitigate economic, environmental, and societal impacts of liquefaction in a cost-effective manner. Assessment methods exist, but methods to assess the potential for liquefaction triggering are more mature than are those to predict liquefaction consequences, and the earthquake engineering community wrestles with the differences among the various assessment methods for both liquefaction triggering and consequences. State of the Art and Practice in the Assessment of Earthquake-Induced Soil Liquefaction and Its Consequences evaluates these various methods, focusing on those developed within the past 20 years, and recommends strategies to minimize uncertainties in the short term and to develop improved methods to assess liquefaction and its consequences in the long term. This report represents a first attempt within the geotechnical earthquake engineering community to consider, in such a manner, the various methods to assess liquefaction consequences.

Book A Probabilistic Model to Liquefaction Assessment of Dams

Download or read book A Probabilistic Model to Liquefaction Assessment of Dams written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to evaluate earthquake liquefaction potential of soil media, several statistical models ranging from purely empirical to mathematically sophisticated have been devised. While deterministic methods define susceptibility of a soil structure to liquefaction, for a given seismic event, in the sense that the site does or does not liquefy, probabilistic approaches incorporate statistical properties associated with both the earthquake and site characterization. In this study a stochastic model is formulated to assess liquefaction potential of soil structures in general and earth dams in particular induced by earthquakes. Such earthquakes are realizations of a random process expressed in the form of a power spectral density. Uncertainties in the soil resistance to liquefaction are also introduced with probability density functions around in-situ measurements of parameters associated with the soil strength. The attempt of this study is to devise a procedure that will lead to a continuous probability of liquefaction at a given site. Monte Carlo simulations are employed for the probabilistic model. In addition a stochastic model is presented. The dynamic response of the two-phase medium is obtained with the help of the POROSLAM code and it is expressed in the form of a transfer function (Unit Response).

Book Geotechnical Engineering For Disaster Mitigation And Rehabilitation   Proceedings Of The International Conference  With Cd rom

Download or read book Geotechnical Engineering For Disaster Mitigation And Rehabilitation Proceedings Of The International Conference With Cd rom written by Jian Chu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005-12-09 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the devastating disaster caused by the tsunami on 26 December 2004, disaster mitigation and rehabilitation have become some of the most pressing topics for discussion in geotechnical engineering and related professions. Some of the most important contributions to this discussion were made during the International Conference on Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation, the first of its kind held in the Asia-Pacific region. It was organized by the Joint Working Group on Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation (JWG-DMR), which is supported by national geotechnical societies from Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia (comprising Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand) and Sri Lanka.Disaster management encompasses diverse topics such as natural disasters (tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides, etc.), mitigation (early warning and prediction systems, hazard mapping, risk analysis, coastal protection works, etc.), rehabilitation and reconstruction (difficult soils and ground treatment, design against earthquakes and other natural disasters, etc.), and many others, including soil dynamics, liquefaction, stability, and environmental protection. This volume contains over 100 high quality papers contributed by authors from participating countries, including keynote and invited lectures delivered by eminent researchers and practitioners. The proceedings will benefit the geotechnical profession as a whole, in particular those who are involved in disaster prevention, mitigation, rehabilitation and reconstruction works. In addition, the contributions will add impetus to research and development in this important domain: the long-term goal is to mitigate the unacceptable magnitude of destruction and the number of human lives lost such as in the recent 2004 tsunami tragedy.
