Iran is an active seismic region. Earthquake damage is commonly controlled by three interacting factors including source and path characteristics, local geological and geotechnical conditions and type of the structures. Obviously, all of this would require analysis and presentation of a large amount of geological, seismological and geotechnical data. In this paper, nonlinear geotechnical seismi...

Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading causes severe damage to the pile foundation of structures. Old structures that are not properly designed for liquefaction more vulnerable a strong earthquake. Many old piled abutments require remedial measure against spreading. This paper examines responses an abutment subjected liquefaction-induced and efficacy sheet reinforcement technique mitigate assoc...
