Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction can cause enormous life and economic losses. The joint distribution of the peak ground surface acceleration (amax) and the moment magnitude of an earthquake (Mw) is crucial to the estimation of soil liquefaction-related hazards. In this paper, a new method is suggested to estimate the joint distribution of amax and Mw. Compared with the existing method, the suggested...
Finite element analysis was conducted to study the ground and tunnel response to partial tunnel leakage coupled with anisotropic soil permeability, a novel and little-known approach that was developed from in-situ inspections of shield tunnel leakage in the Shanghai Metro system. The ground and tunnel settlements, which were caused by water leaking into the tunnel, significantly degraded both the...
