Reliability of Structural Systems with Regard to Permanent Displacements

1991
In this paper the problem of estimating the accumulated permanent displacements of an offshore platform during one storm is considered. For dynamically sensitive structural systems subjected to wave loads this problem is generally very difficult. However, for dynamic insensitive systems some methods/experience related to permanent deformations are ...

Evaluation of Permanent Landslide Displacement Induced by Earthquake

2012 Fifth International Conference on Intelligent Computation Technology and Automation, 2012
Because of differences in geological structure, litho logy and weathering degree of slope, there is double-decked exist in space composing of the slope, it is also called potential sliding surface. So, the seismic behavior of slope is hard to synchronize with each other. Upper layer of the slope will produce permanent displacement, and it will decrease

Stability Fronts of Permanent Form in Immiscible Displacement

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1984
ABSTRACT The theory of stability of plane saturation fronts of permanent form in mathematical models of immiscible displacement that was presented in SPE 12691 is developed further. Stability of the saturation profile to normal modes of smal1-amplitude perturbations in pressures and saturation is found by solving the generalized ...

Permanent Displacement and Deformation of Liquefied Subsoil

2008
In 1984 a permanent lateral displacement was detected in a gentle slope in Noshiro City where a substantial liquefaction developed at the time of the 1983 Nihonkai Chubu earthquake (Hamada et al. 1986). Since the displacement was significant, exceeding 4 m at maximum, gas pipelines embedded in the area were broken in such manners as separation at ...

Therapeutic outcome assessment in permanent temporomandibular joint disc displacement

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1999
In permanent temporomandibular disc displacement (TMJ‐DD) outcome studies many authors claim positive effects of arthroscopic surgery, arthrocentesis and physical therapy. This literature review was undertaken to analyse whether the claimed effects are based on acceptable methodology.

Prediction of Permanent Displacement Due to Liquefaction

2008
The observed shape of subsoil displacement (Sect. 24.4 and 24.7) indicated that the lateral displacement changes in a harmonic manner in the vertical direction, while the surface crust moves together with the liquefied subsoil (Sect. 24.7).

Improving Structural Response to Permanent Ground Displacement

Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, 2001
Structural damage due to permanent ground displacement is a common occurrence during seismic events. Light-frame structures, typical of residential construction, seem both particularly susceptible to and easily reinforced against moderate ground failure. Because the foundations of these structures typically receive little or no engineering attention, a

Application of a Probabilistic Assessment of the Permanent Seismic Displacement of a Slope

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2018
AbstractPredicting the seismic performance of slopes involves an assessment of the expected permanent sliding displacement induced by ground shaking.

Influence of strong motion characteristics on permanent displacement of slopes

Landslides, 2015
Landslides triggered by moderate to major earthquakes are a recognized seismic hazard. Arias Intensity (I a) is a key intensity measure of the ground motion, but significant duration is widely used to define strong motion duration.

SIMPLIFIED EVALUATION OF EARTHQUAKE-INDUCED PERMANENT DISPLACEMENTS OF SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 1997
The earthquake response of shallow foundations is studied by a simple method that incorporates nonlinear behaviour at the soil-foundation interface and, unlike other simplified approaches, directly takes into account the coupling between the soil-foundation system and the superstructure.
