Bayesian liquefaction resistance analysis
, 1996 A method is presented for assessing the statistics of liquefaction resistance based on field performance data and penetration resistance at the site. Available liquefaction performance data are calibrated against penetration resistance.

Soils and FoundationsSheet-pile enclosures are often employed as liquefaction countermeasures for river levees in Japan. However, the stiffness of the sheet piles alone is often insufficient to maintain levees on liquefied foundation soil high enough to prevent overflooding.

Liquefaction resistance of partially saturated sands
, 2022 Abstract Partially saturated sands with occluded gas bubbles may occur naturally in the field or can be created artificially as a way of mitigating liquefaction effects. The gas bubbles in pore spaces significantly alter the bulk modulus of pore fluid and consequently affect the excess pore pressure generation and liquefaction behavior of sands.

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions
Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Impacts of refining Canadian partially upgraded bitumen: Fluid catalytic cracking
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract In this study, we examine the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) performance of vacuum gas oil (VGO) from partially upgraded bitumen (PUB), a novel refinery feedstock from Canadian bitumen. FCC experiments were conducted in a lab‐scale FCC unit with VGOs from two different PUBs prepared using thermal cracking and solvent deasphalting, along with ...
