Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Comparison Between the New and the Old Versions of Jordan Seismic CodeM.A. MusmarThe study comes as a vital step to shed120 light upon the purport of the recently published version of Jordan Seismic code (JSC), and how the drawbacks of the old version are surpassed. The new JSC code oversteps the old provisions, in that input parameters now have pronounced and significant physical meanings. The study concludes that the conversion from service … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering of Ground for Liquefaction Mitigation Using Granular Columnar Inclusions: Recent DevelopmentsA. Murali Krishna, M.R. MadhavProblem statement: Liquefaction was the most hazardous damage during an earthquake. Ground improvement techniques were employed to mitigate liquefaction hazards. Most common methods to improve engineering properties of soils are densification, reinforcement, grouting/mixing and drainage. Among various remedial measures available, installation of columnar granular inclusions is the most widely adopted method for liquefaction mitigation. Approach: Columnar granular inclusions function as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNonlinear Behavior of Single Piles in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Using Incremental Dynamic AnalysisMohammad Amin Assareh, Behrouz AsgarianThe operation for offshore oil has become an important issue in the recent years. Offshore platforms are some of those structures which are built to withstand environmental and accidental loads during oil exploitation operation. One of the most usual types of these platforms is the Jacket Type Offshore Platform (JTOP) which can be divided into three important parts, which are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Pile- Soil Interaction Subjected to Lateral Loads in Layered SoilsA. Avaei, Abdoul R. Ghotbi, M. AryafarTo stabilize infrastructures such as tall buildings, bridges, etc., piles are used to resist lateral loads created from earth pressure, wind, waves and earthquake extensively. Pile design requires understanding of how the load is transferred from a pile to surrounding soil and vice versa. Pile properties, soil stress-strain behavior and pile-soil interaction play important roles in pile-response subjected to lateral … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,339 accessesView PDFCite
