Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Liquefaction Return Period for Bangalore Based on Standard Penetration Test Data: Performance Based ApproachK. S. Vipin, T. G. SitharamProblem statement: The conventional liquefaction evaluation is based on a deterministic approach. However in this method the uncertainty in the earthquake loading is not properly taken into account. However recent research in this field indicates that this uncertainty in the earthquake loading has to be considered in the liquefaction potential evaluation. Moreover the evaluation of liquefaction return period is not … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,744 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAssessment of Weathering Layer Characteristics over OPL-135 in the Western Part of the Niger Delta Basin, South-South, NigeriaOkechukwu Frank Adizua, Adekunle Oyemade Sofolabo, Olomu Ivory Obi-EgbediAn up-hole seismic refraction survey was carried out in OPL-135 in the Western part of the Niger Delta Basin, (SS) Nigeria. A total of thirty seven (37) up-hole locations in a (4.0×3.750) km grid configuration were drilled and logged over the prospect. The focal objective for the study was to assess the weathering layer characteristics over the prospect, specifically, to … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2021 · 11,456 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSimilitude Distortion Compensation for a Small Scale Model of a Knee Braced Steel FrameNouredine Bourahla, Anthony BlakeboroughThe purpose of producing scaled physical models is to allow the assessment in the laboratory of the probable response of a structure to a prescribed loading. It is obviously of paramount importance to construct these models to reflect reality as accurately as possible. The problem encountered particularly for dynamic testing is that the similitude requirements are sometimes impractical. This paper … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,180 accessesView PDF Cite
