The importance of accurate time-integration in the numerical modelling of P-wave propagation [PDF]
The numerical dissipation characteristics of the Newmark and generalised-α time-integration schemes are investigated for P-wave propagation in a fully saturated level-ground sand deposit, where higher frequencies than those for S-waves are of concern ...

Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon through which saturated soil completely loses its strength and hardness and behaves the same as a liquid due to the severe stress it entails.

Phylogenomic study of Burkholderia glathei-like organisms, proposal of 13 novel Burkholderia species and emended descriptions of Burkholderia sordidicola, Burkholderia zhejiangensis, and Burkholderia grimmiae [PDF]
Partial gyrB gene sequence analysis of 17 isolates from human and environmental sources revealed 13 clusters of strains and identified them as Burkholderia glathei Glade (BGC) bacteria.

Liquefaction perspective of soil ageing [PDF]
Subsoil liquefaction during strong earthquakes is one of the major seismic threats to the human community. Over the past few decades various methodologies have been proposed to assess liquefaction vulnerability; however, recent seismic events in Japan have revealed that current assessment methods are over conservative, which results in unnecessarily ...

A new slurry-based method of preparation of specimens of sand containing fines [PDF]
A new method of specimen reconstitution is presented that is appropriate for element testing of sands containing either plastic or nonplastic fines. The method allows reconstitution of homogeneous, saturated specimens of sands containing fines whose ...

Analysis of Liquefaction Potential Based on Seismic Wave Velocity in Bengkulu City
Bengkulu City has a high liquefaction rate, both geologically and geophysically. This is because Bengkulu City consists of rocks in the form of sand, silt, mud, clay, coral fragments and gravel in alluvial areas (Qa) and floodplains.

Return Period of Soil Liquefaction [PDF]
The paper describes a performance-based approach to the evaluation of liquefaction potential, and shows how it can be used to account for the entire range of potential ground shaking. The result is a direct estimate of the return period of liquefaction, rather than a factor of safety or probability of liquefaction conditional upon ground shaking with ...

AN INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECTIVE PARAMETERS OF LOOSE SANDS LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL USING IMPROVED HYPERCUBE SAMPLING METHOD [PDF]
The occurrence of the liquefaction phenomenon in saturated loose sandy soils under seismic loads causes the soil particles to tend to decrease in volume.

Assessment of liquefaction potential index for Mumbai city [PDF]
Mumbai city is the financial capital of India and is fifth most densely populated city in the world. Seismic soil liquefaction is evaluated for Mumbai city in terms of the factors of safety against liquefaction (FS) along the depths of soil profiles for ...
