Soil strength from geophysical measurements for soft clays [PDF]
, 2015 Knowledge of seabed soils is essential if offshore and nearshore structures are to be safely designed and properly built. A large part of the commercial and operational risk involved relates to uncertainties about the soil properties at the site.

Damping Modification Factors for Pile–Induced Filtering Effect
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Period–dependent Damping Modification Factors are usually applied to the 5%–damped pseudo–acceleration response spectrum at free field conditions to derive the seismic demand for structures with damping ratio other than 5%. Likewise, the response spectrum at the foundation level of pile–supported structures may differ from the free field ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Variations of Undrained Shear Strength of EPB Mud and a Calculation Model Based on Consistency Index
Advances in Civil EngineeringIf earth pressure balance (EPB) shields are used for tunneling in clayey soils, dispersants are often applied to condition the mud. For the conditioned mud, the undrained shear strength is a key indicator determining the shield tunneling operational ...

Dissipative behaviour of reinforced-earth retaining structures under severe ground motion [PDF]
, 2015 This paper focuses on the seismic performance of geosynthetic-reinforced retaining walls (GRWs) that several evidences have shown to be generally adequate.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces
