Author Description

The evaluation of seismically-induced foundation and abutment movement has become a topic of great interest as geotechnical earthquake engineering moves from force-based to displacement-based analysis and design. In this volume, contributors provide research results and case histories of seismically-induced movements of foundations and abutments, as well as research and practice on foundation remediation for mitigation of seismic hazards. Papers examine dynamic soil-pile interaction behavior in submerged sands; examine diverse bridge foundation remediation considerations; model passive earth pressure for bridge abutments; and highlight a longterm test of compaction grouting for liquefaction mitigation.
