Development of the Spectral-Analysis-of-Body-Waves (SABW) method for downhole seismic testing with boreholes or penetrometers
… procedures with Rayleigh-type surface waves in geotechnical earthquake engineering are the Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) and Multi-Channel-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (MASW) methods. In this research, an automated procedure for calculating body wave velocities that is based on …

Simulating Earthquake-triggered Runout using Higher-order Hydromechanical MPM and PM4Sand
Earthquake-triggered landslides pose a significant risk to society and infrastructure. Despite the catastrophic consequences, significant questions remain regarding their manifestation and have rarely been analyzed in large-strain numerical frameworks. There is a need to simulate …

Dynamic soil modeling in site response and soil-large pile interaction analysis
… explores the use of numerical solutions in two geotechnical earthquake engineering problems; 1) one dimensional wave propagation in soil deposits and 2) the effects of lateral spreading on large pile foundations. Two new soil damping formulations are implemented in non-linear one-dimensional …

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, …
