Strong motion records provided by seismic vertical arrays allow estimation of stress -strain relations in soils at depths from the surface to the location of the deepest device. As an example, time-dependent nonlinear soil behavior was estimated in vertical components of records obtained in the epic
This paper presents results of observation and analysis of the response of one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world to the Hyogoken-Nanbu (Kobe) Earthquake of 17 January 1995. It is determined that interaction of the foundations of the bridge towers with the supporting soil plays a decis
A series of studies was conducted on three buildings of steel reinforced concrete structures with RC shear walls damaged in the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake. These buildings are located in an area where structural damage centred around. Two of these buildings suffered severe damage, while the thi
Data obtained from site investigations in the Tucson area between 1932 and 1937 has been used to locate areas with collapse potential. These areas are associated with easily identified geomorphic features in Holocene deposits, particularly skirt and apron fans; inset fans and river terraces and floo
