Performance of drains in earthquake-induced liquefaction mitigation under new and existing buildings
Damage in buildings documented after recent earthquake-induced liquefaction events emphasises the importance of improving vulnerable regions using countermeasure techniques. Further investigations are required to evaluate the performance of currently available mitigation techniques. Vertical drains …

Seismic behaviour of structures with basements in liquefiable soil
Earthquake induced liquefaction can cause significant damage in the built environment. Structures on shallow foundations can suffer large settlement and rotation, and light under- ground structures can uplift. The performance of structures with basements, which intuitively combines these two …

Air Injection Technique to Mitigate Liquefaction beneath Shallow Foundations
Historical and recent earthquakes often remind the need for taking precautions against earthquake-induced liquefaction damage that structures on shallow foundations can suffer. Air injection technique has the potential to improve the soil supporting new and existing structures. There is, however, …

The Seismic Response of Offshore Wind Turbines Supported by Monopiles and Alternative Foundations in Liquefiable Soils
… wind farms is likely to face catastrophic earthquakerelated phenomena during their operational life. Among these, liquefaction of saturated sands forming the seabed is possibly the most probable and detrimental to offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Monopiles have emerged as the preferred …

IMPACT OF SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION ON SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF INTEGRAL ABUTMENT BRIDGES
… and catastrophic flooding. In addition, strong earthquakes, such as the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake and the 2024 Noto earthquake in Japan, have shed light on the consequences of these natural events for both livelihoods and infrastructure. Although the occurrence time of these earthquakes and …

Design and in situ testing of a piezometer system to measure earthquake -induced pore -pressure changes
… deposits that are known to have liquefied during earthquakes. Some of the measured signals have not been similar to what was expected during earthquake-induced liquefaction. Using artificially generated signals, several investigators have attempted to determine if existing piezometer fields …

Application of Fatigue Theories to Seismic Compression Estimation and the Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential
Earthquake-induced liquefaction of saturated soils and seismic compression of unsaturated soils are major sources of hazard to infrastructure, as attested by the wholesale condemnation of neighborhoods surrounding Christchurch, New Zealand. The hazard continues to grow as cities expand into …

Ground Improvement for Liquefaction Mitigation at Existing Highway Bridges
… existing highway bridges to mitigate the risk of earthquake-induced liquefaction damage has been studied. The factors and phenomena governing the performance of the improved ground were identified and clarified. Potential analytical methods for predicting the treated ground performance were …
