Description:: Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading is the permanent lateral deformations developed in gently sloping ground due to a seismic event. The magnitude of the lateral spreading could range from a few millimeters to several meters causing damages to civil infrastructure including bridges, buildings,...

Description:: Soil is a multiphase material composed of solid particles, liquid and gas. In case of fully saturated soils, the deformation and stress analysis of soils subjected to external loading requires simultaneous satisfaction of balance of linear momentum, constitutive behavior of soil skeleton, and...

Description:: Reliability based analysis is a well-established tool in probability-based structural design. The load equation from the ACI Code along with several others ACI design methods are analyzed in order to verify that the reliability index using limit state functions are consistent across both...
