Numerical simulation of inclined piles under liquefaction-induced lateral spreading

Numerical simulation of inclined piles under liquefaction-induced lateral spreading

ABSTRACT Inclined piles have been widely applied to resist excessive lateral loading in engineering practice. Although some unsatisfactory observations were found in past earthquake events, supportive evidence was also observed in recent years. This paper aims to clarify the performance of inclined piles against liquefaction-induced…

Ground damage caused by Typhoon “Hagibis” in Central and Eastern Japan

Ground damage caused by Typhoon “Hagibis” in Central and Eastern Japan

  ABSTRACT Considered as the strongest storm to hit Japan in more than six decades, the super-typhoon “Hagibis” (locally referred to as Typhoon No. 19) struck the central and eastern parts of the country on 12 October 2019 and caused widespread damage across many low-lying…

DEM simulation of 1-D compression test on pumice sand

DEM simulation of 1-D compression test on pumice sand

  ABSTRACT Previous studies have shown that pumice particles are highly crushable, compressible and lightweight as a result of their vesicular nature. Hence, they are problematic from an engineering viewpoint. Currently, there is limited information on the geotechnical characteristics of pumice deposits. To address this,…
