Influence of soil saturation on the free field response of liquefiable soils

open access: yesUnderground Space, 2017
The present paper presents analysis of the influence of the soil saturation on the free -field response of liquefiable soils. Analyses are conducted using a finite element program developed for partially saturated soils subjected to cyclic loading.

A Comparison of Ground Motion Intensity Measures for Estimating Collapse

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study examines the use of 15 different intensity measures (IMs) for estimating structural collapse using results from incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). IDA results from 54 numerical models were considered, including (i) 12 reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures, (ii) 16 RC wall–frame structures and (iii) 26 steel buckling‐restrained braced ...
