Seismic stability of buckling-restrained braced frames
… Braced Frames (BRBFs) are widely used as a seismic force-resisting system due to their advantageous properties for ductility and energy dissipation. However, because of the modest overstrength and relatively low post-yielding stiffness, BRBFs subjected to seismic loading may be susceptible …

Seismic Stability of Slopes in Sensitive Cohesive Soils
… factor for use of the vane shear strengths in seismic stability evaluations was proposed. The validity of the proposed correction factor was verified using the Fourth Avenue, L-Street, Sainte-Thecle, and Saint-Adelphe earthquake induced landslides.

Static and Seismic Stability of Cut Slopes in Terms of Reliability
A method is developed for evaluating the static stability of a cut slope formed by strain-softening soil such as highly overconsolidated clay considering progressive failure as the critical failure mode. The stress condition along a potential failure surface both prior to and after an excavation is …

SEISMIC ANALYSES OF SLOPE STABILITY AND LIMITING EARTH PRESSURES ACTING ON RETAINING STRUCTURES
… analysis was proposed to investigate the seismic stability of a soil slope and assess seismic limiting earth pressures acting on retaining structures. Such an analysis enables one to account for varying soil properties and complicated earthquake inputs, since it combines the advantages of …

Seismic induced flow deformation and remediation study of Sardis Dam
Previous investigations of the seismic stability of Sardis Dam indicated that the entire central silt core and a weak clayey silt layer in the dam foundation are susceptible to liquefaction which could result in large losses of shear strengths in these liquefied soils. The post-liquefaction …

Evaluation of nuclear spent fuel dry storage casks and storage facility designs
… aspects also determined by calculation were the seismic stability of casks and the cask footprint. The results obtained show the relationship of the spent fuel (SF) packing density between the different casks. Different shielding materials are used in the casks and it aided the heat transfer …

Performance assessment of special concentrically-braced frames in moderate seismic regions
… systems are a type of CBF commonly used in high seismic regions because they are designed to permit large inelastic drifts. Ductile detailing and capacity design requirements ensure braces are the main source of energy dissipation in the system. While the design of SCBFs in high seismic regions …

An Experimental Study of the Dynamic Behavior of Slickensided Surfaces
… drained residual shear strength for analyses of seismic stability of slickensided clay slopes. This represents a departure from the current state of practice, which is to use the drained residual shear strength as a "first-order approximation of the residual strength friction angle under …
