Block-type gravity quay walls are widely used in remote oceanic regions due to their cost
and construction efficiency, where backfill and foundation soil often consist of liquefiable …

The seismic stability of slopes reinforced with a row of piles is analyzed using the kinematic
theorem of limit analysis within the framework of the pseudostatic approach. An existing …

This paper examines in terms of seismic performance, the effectiveness of anchor
reinforcement against gravity retaining walls used to stabilize a dry homogenous fill slope in …

Waterfront retaining walls supporting dry backfill are subjected to hydrostatic pressure on
upstream face and earth pressure on the downstream face. Under seismic conditions, if such …

The crucial role of intensity measure (IM) selection in the seismic fragility analysis of gravity
quay walls is demonstrated in this paper. Scalar-and vector-valued fragility functions are …

Up to date national and international codes and standards recommends the performance-
based design to better estimate the seismic response of the gravity type quay walls …

This technical note pertains to the study of a waterfront retaining wall, retaining a partially
submerged backfill, subjected to seismic forces. The pseudodynamic approach, which …

The seismic performance of a caisson structure under two types of models with a saturated
sandy foundation (CSS) and an expanded polystyrene (EPS) composite soil foundation …

Two centrifuge tests on a quay wall and a cantilevered retaining wall with saturated granular
backfills were simulated using Finn-Byrne model. Capabilities of Finn-Byrne model in …

A 1-g model experimental study was conducted to investigate the accumulated rotations and
unloading stiffness of bucket foundations in saturated loose sand. One-way horizontal cyclic …
