This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Central United States is home to several seismically active regions: the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, the South Central Illinois Seismic Zone, and the New Madrid Seismic Zone. All three of these regions are capable of inducing large ground motion throughout the Mississippi Valley and along the eastern border of Missouri. This has been supported by many paleoseismic studies conducted throughout the region, which have identified numerous instances of liquefaction phenomena. The fluvial deposition process associated with the Mississippi river valley makes it a prime location for possible liquefaction and lateral spreading effects. However, there are few studies pertaining to lateral spreading phenomena in the Midwest. This thesis investigates the current state-of-practice in lateral spreading estimation and determines an evaluation process adequate for the specific needs of the Midwest. A bridge site along the Mississippi River, the Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge, is evaluated for lateral spreading and recommendations for the applicability of the process to the Midwest are made"--Abstract, p. iii.

This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents work collected through the Liquefaction Experiments and Analysis Projects (LEAP) in 2017. It addresses the repeatability, variability, and sensitivity of lateral spreading observed in twenty-four centrifuge model tests on mildly sloping liquefiable sand. The centrifuge tests were conducted at nine different centrifuge facilities around the world. For the first time, a sufficient number of experiments were conducted to enable assessment of variability of centrifuge test results. The experimental data provided a unique basis for assessing the capabilities of twelve different simulation platforms for numerical simulation of soil liquefaction. The results of the experiments and the numerical simulations are presented and discussed in papers submitted by the project participants. The work presented in this book was followed by LEAP-Asia that included assessment of a generalized scaling law and culminated in a workshop in Osaka, Japan in March 2019. LEAP-2020, ongoing at the time of printing, is addressing the validation of soil-structure interaction analyses of retaining walls involving a liquefiable soil. A workshop is planned at RPI, USA in 2020.

Download or read book Fluid Dynamics Based Large Deformation Analysis in Geomechanics written by Hagos Hadush Seged and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lateral spread due to liquefaction involves large ground movements, where shear strains reach several tens of percent and sometimes exceed 100%. Traditional analytical methods for prediction of soil deformation, which are based on such general assumptions as (1) deformations are small and (2) soil particles do not completely lose contact among each other, cannot describe this phenomenon. Besides, several results from case studies and model tests suggest that liquefied soil undergoing lateral spread behaves like a fluid. The principal aim of the work illustrated in this book is to develop new numerical methods for lateral spread analysis in the framework of fluid dynamics where a particular emphasis is made on multi fluid dynamics schemes. Different methods for liquefaction induced lateral spread analysis including empirical methods, model tests and experimental methods for determination of liquefied soil viscosity are reviewed. Numerical methods that treat liquefied soil as solid and those that treat liquefied soil as fluid are also discussed. Finally, two fluid dynamics based numerical methods for lateral spread analysis are presented.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) handbook can be used by trained personnel to identify, inventory, and screen buildings that are potentially seismically vulnerable. The RVS procedure comprises a method and several forms that help users to quickly identify, inventory, and score buildings according to their risk of collapse if hit by major earthquakes. The RVS handbook describes how to identify the structural type and key weakness characteristics, how to complete the screening forms, and how to manage a successful RVS program.
