Case history-based analysis of liquefaction in sloping ground
… liquefaction can occur in both level and sloping ground, this research focuses on sloping ground liquefaction. The analysis of liquefaction in sloping ground is divided into three steps: (1) liquefaction susceptibility; (2) liquefaction triggering; and (3) post-triggering stability …

Liquefaction Analysis of Level and Sloping Ground Using Field Case Histories and Penetration Resistance
… a suite of laboratory tests or corrections for sloping ground and vertical effective stress. The procedure is verified initially using the Lower San Fernando Dam case history.

The effects of grass and rainfall pattern on the matric suction of acidic soil slopes
… due to rainfall by applying hydromulching on sloping ground. Despite numerous efforts in the past to investigate the influence of rainfall infiltration on slope stability, there was limited research on the effect of both rainfall infiltration and evaporation on sloping ground. This study …

Probabilistic Post-Liquefaction Residual Shear Strength Analyses of Cohesionless Soil Deposits: Application to the Kocaeli (1999) and Duzce (1999) Earthquakes
… stability and deformation of level and sloping ground. Current procedures for estimating the liquefied shear strength are based on extensive laboratory testing programs or from the back-analysis of failures where liquefaction was involved and in-situ testing data was available. All …

EPOLLS: An Empirical Method for Prediciting Surface Displacements Due to Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Spreading in Earthquakes
… spreading has been a very damaging type of ground failure. When a subsurface soil deposit liquefies, intact blocks of surficial soil can move downslope, or toward a vertical free face, even when the ground surface is nearly level. A lateral spread is defined as the mostly horizontal movement …

Three dimensional numerical modelling of rows of discrete piles used to stabilise large landslides
… the strength of the slip plane interface and a sloping ground surface on the behaviour of the pile is then investigated. The initial numerical results from models with a rigid pile, a distinct plane of sliding and a horizontal ground surface, as assumed by Viggiani, agree well with his limit …

Seismic Analysis and Response of Highway Bridges with Hybrid Isolation
… on the stiffness and capacity of piles in sloping ground, since many abutment piles are located in sloping embankments under the end spans of bridges. This numerical investigation used the Deep Foundation System Analysis Program (DFSAP) and the results indicated the effect of slope on …

Glacial geology of the north half of Barnes County, North Dakota
… north-south through E. 57 W., and the eastward sloping surface to the east county boundary. Glacial and glaciofucial landforms of subdivisions are described and their mode of origin discussed.</p> <p>Pleistocene stratigraphy is discussed under two headings: Indeterminant stages, and the …
