Rate of Settlement of Silt Alluvium at Trojan
Settlements of 1.83 m have been observed at the switchyard of the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant over a 22-year period since 1970. Rockfill had been placed on the site, a flood plain of the...

Development and Modern Dynamics of Alluvial-Accumulative Coasts of the Eastern Black Sea
River regime, river sediment and wave processes are greatly important in the alluvial accumulative coast evolution. The Black Sea coast of the Georgia may be a good example of such coast...

Infiltration into Thick Unsaturated Alluvial Deposits: A Preliminary Study
An infiltration and dye transport study in an unsaturated alluvial deposit was conducted using a square flooding type infiltrometer over a 50 hour period. Red and blue dyes were added...

Site-Dependence of Spatial Coherency
The spatial coherency of ground motion from nine dense arrays are analyzed to examine the site-dependence of spatial coherency. The spatial coherencies computed for arrays located on alluvium...

Determination of the Deformation Characteristics of a Jet-Grouted Shallow Tunnel in Alluvial Deposits by Means of In-Situ Measurements and Back Analysis
The deformation characteristics of a jet-grouted shallow tunnel in alluvial deposits are investigated. An intensive in-situ measuring program accompanied each of the various excavation...

Development of Fragility Curves for Liquefaction
The purpose of this study is to propose a methodology for evaluation of the degree of liquefaction potential and to demonstrate its applicability in constructing fragility curves for liquefaction...

Puget Sound Alluvium: A Challenge in Design of Pile Supported Port Facilities with Dredged Slopes
The geotechnical investigation, evaluations, and recommendations for the Port of Seattle Terminal 18/20 Improvement Project are described and compared with observed performance during...
