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 ...

Liquefaction Potential of Silty Sand Surrounding A Bucket Foundation Under Vertical Vibration Load
, 2012 To study the liquefaction potential of sand surrounding bucket foundations, centrifuge experiments were carried out. Results have shown that the sand layer around a bucket foundation softens or liquefies under vertical dynamic load when the load ...

Liquefaction Resistance of Sand Deposit Improved with Sand Compaction Piles
Soils and Foundations, 2003 ABSTRACT This paper reports results of in-situ tests and undrained cyclic shear tests on high-quality undisturbed samples obtained by the in-situ freezing method at three sites where foundation soils had been improved with sand compaction piles. Triaxial specimens obtained from the frozen samples were fully saturated in the triaxial cell and then ...

Shaking table test on underwater slope failure induced by liquefaction
Soils and Foundations, 2023 Sand liquefaction is a process in which the excess pore water pressure of saturated sand soils increases and the effective stress of saturated sand decreases under the action of vibration, resulting in the transition of sand soils from the solid state to

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 ...

Liquefaction and post-liquefaction properties of sand-silt mixtures and undisturbed silty sands
Soils and Foundations, 2019 Abstract Severe damage to earth structures mainly consisting of fine sands containing non-plastic silt has often occurred due to the liquefaction of the fill materials. However, the changes in the liquefaction susceptibility and post-liquefaction undrained behaviour of fine sands associated with the increase in the amount of non-plastic silt have not

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.
