Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP), a novel bio-mediated ground improvement
method, was explored to mitigate liquefaction-prone soils. Geotechnical centrifuge tests …

Geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) system involves the dynamic interaction between
structure and low‐modulus foundation material, such as rubber‐soil mixtures (RSM). Whilst …

The effectiveness of structural fuse mechanisms used to improve the performance of
buildings during seismic loading depends on their capacity, ductility, energy dissipation …

The nonlinear response of shallow foundations has been studied experimentally and
analytically. However, the engineering community is not yet convinced of the applicability of …

Centrifuge modeling was used to study the performance of loose sand treated with microbial-
induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) to improve liquefaction resistance to …

In good soil conditions, spread footings for bridges are less expensive than deep
foundations. Furthermore, rocking shallow foundations have some performance advantages …

Understanding root-reinforcement of vegetated slopes is hindered by the cost and
practicality of full scale tests to explore global behaviour at the slope scale, and the idealised …

This paper reports the experimental results from two geotechnical centrifuge tests examining
seismic soil–foundation–structure interaction of frame structures. In the first test, two three …

Vegetation has been previously proposed as a method for protecting artificial and natural
slopes against shallow landslides (eg as may be triggered by an earthquake); however …

Observations of the performance of basement walls and retaining structures in recent
earthquakes show that failures of basement or deep-excavation walls in earthquakes are …
