This book was released on 2022-09-19 with total page 2417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 4th International Conference on Performance-based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (PBD-IV) is held in Beijing, China. The PBD-IV Conference is organized under the auspices of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering - Technical Committee TC203 on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Associated Problems (ISSMGE-TC203). The PBD-I, PBD-II, and PBD-III events in Japan (2009), Italy (2012), and Canada (2017) respectively, were highly successful events for the international earthquake geotechnical engineering community. The PBD events have been excellent companions to the International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (ICEGE) series that TC203 has held in Japan (1995), Portugal (1999), USA (2004), Greece (2007), Chile (2011), New Zealand (2015), and Italy (2019). The goal of PBD-IV is to provide an open forum for delegates to interact with their international colleagues and advance performance-based design research and practices for earthquake geotechnical engineering.

Book Synopsis Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences by : Jacques Locat
Download or read book Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences written by Jacques Locat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that the Grand Bank earthquake of 1929 triggered a huge submarine mass movement which broke submarine cables over a distance of up to 1000 km from its source and generated a tsunami which devastated a small village in Newfoundland killing 27 people? The same happened in Papua New Guinea in 1998 with more than 2000 casualties. Submarine mass movements of various sizes and styles are shaping the sea floor and are of concern for many facets of human activities both onshore and offshore. These include the development of natural resources, energy and communication transport, coastal infrastructures and communities. This book provides a world-wide perspective of submarine mass movements and their consequences. This has been made possible by assembling excellent contributions from active researchers, groups, or institutions, thus providing full coverage of the many scientific and engineering aspects of this type of marine and coastal geo-hazard. It covers fundamental as well as site specific studies from many areas including the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, inner seas like the Mediterranean Sea, and fjords using the most recent technologies from multibeam sonar imaging techniques, 3D seismic analysis, slope stability analysis, to debris flow and tsunami modeling. Audience: This book is of interest to any researcher in the field of marine and coastal geo-hazards. It will be useful for planners, scientists and engineers involved in the development of offshore and near-shore resources and also to those in charge of the management and mitigation of coastal hazards. For graduate students, this book provides an up-to-date vision of the process of submarine mass movements and their consequences from both a scientific and an engineering standpoint, and it includes a unique collection of the existing literature on marine geo-hazards. CD-Rom included This volume contains a CD-Rom which in addition to an electronically searchable version of the contributions, has full colour versions of figures which are printed in black and white in the book.

Book Synopsis Constitutive Modelling of Granular Materials by : Dimitrios Kolymbas
Download or read book Constitutive Modelling of Granular Materials written by Dimitrios Kolymbas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In view of its extreme complexity the mathematical description of the mechanical behaviour of granular materials is an extremely difficult task. Today many different models compete with each other. However, the complexity of the models hinders their comparison, and the potential users are confused and, often, disencouraged. This book is expected to serve as a milestone in the present situation, to evaluate the present methodes, to clear up the situation, to focus and encourage for further research activities.
Book Synopsis Performance of Geotextile-reinforced Soil Slopes at Failure by : Jorge G. Zornberg
Download or read book Performance of Geotextile-reinforced Soil Slopes at Failure written by Jorge G. Zornberg and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A centrifuge study of geotextile-reinforced slopes was performed to identify the failure mechanisms and to verify the ability of limit equilibrium methods to predict failure. The variables considered in the study were reinforcement spacing, reinforcement tensile strength, and soil strength. Analyses of model slopes built with the same backfill gave a single normalized Reinforcement Tension Summation, which can be interpreted as the earth pressure coefficient that depends only on soil strength and slope inclination.

Book Synopsis An Investigation Into the Behavior of Ottawa Sand Through Monotonic and Cyclic Shear Tests by : Andrew Vasko
Download or read book An Investigation Into the Behavior of Ottawa Sand Through Monotonic and Cyclic Shear Tests written by Andrew Vasko and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The current state of practice for predicting the liquefaction potential of soils relies on Standard Penetrometer Test (SPT) or Cone Penetration Test (CPT) results that are converted into a measure of liquefaction resistance through the use of design charts and empirical formulas. This empirically based methodology, used worldwide is based on statistical analysis of various case studies and provides simple and user friendly tools for practicing engineers. The methodology, however, is limited to relatively simple geometric configurations and boundary conditions. Analysis of liquefaction and its consequences in more complex geostructures that contain liquefiable soils usually requires the use of more advanced simulation methods that are based on finite element or finite difference analysis techniques along with a constitutive model for the soil stress-strain-strength behavior in monotonic and cyclic loading conditions. Calibration of these advanced constitutive models depends on thorough and reliable experimental data. This work provides a detailed study into the characterization and stress-strain-strength properties of Ottawa F-65 sand. The experimental data includes key characterization tests as well as hydraulic conductivity, monotonic triaxial, and cyclic triaxial tests. A trial calibration is then performed using the experimental data for the constitutive model proposed by Dafalias and Manzari (2004). The results of a centrifuge experiment are compared to an analysis performed using current state of practice predictive techniques. The shortcomings of the state of practice are highlighted."--Page iv.
