... two years of monitoring the data suggests that vertical strain rates are independent of depth while horizontal movements on slopes are greatest near the surface and diminish with depth. No permanent displacements occurred during a magnitude 6.1 earthquake. sanitary landfills settlement...

... This paper presents regional geo-environmental and climatological information, which includes earthquake, storm, wind, and marine deposits along the coastline of China with special emphasis on the South and East China Sea regions where the majority of new oil recovery projects are scheduled...

... The ground motion caused by earthquake loadings may cause the degradation in the stiffness and strength of the subsoil, and it may in turn degrade the lateral resistance of soil to pile deflection. In this paper, the dependence of the residual strength and the mobilized strength of offshore...

... The liquefaction potential of sediment in Norton Sound and the northern Bering Sea was evaluated by estimating the liquefaction susceptibility of the material from in-situ and laboratory tests in terms of earthquake and wave loads required to liquefy the material, and then comparing estimated...

... Determination of dynamic shear modulus in situ has been an increasingly important source of data for ground response analysis for earthquake design studies. Historically, shear modulus is calculated from in situ measurement of seismic shear-wave velocity. A downhole impact energy source has...

... Engineers concerned with the development of Alaska and other highly seismic areas underlain by permafrost must have knowledge of dynamic properties of frozen soils under earthquake loading conditions. In response to this need, a cyclic triaxial test system and test methods have been developed...

.... Earthquake resistant design requirements involved investigation of dynamic soil properties in order to: (1) evaluate potential loss of soil shear strength during an earthquake and (2) determine deformations and loads imposed on the Tube by ground deformations during earthquake. The investigation included...
