Wind turbine structures can be susceptible to damage from earthquake loading due large overturning moments at the foundation level. As wind energy market expands seismically active parts of world, it becomes important evaluate seismic behaviour these structures. Especially, earthquake-induced liquefaction when farms are located on sites with marginal soil conditions such as loose, saturated san...

Stone columns consist of granular material compacted in long cylindrical holes. They are used for improving the strength and consolidation characteristics compressible soils. However, they still less effective at supporting heavy loads, since cannot transfer applied stresses to deeper layers soil. The main objective this numerical study was investigate geotechnical performance a combined founda...

In order to compare and analyze the seismic response characteristics of a safety-related nuclear structure on non-rock site in condition raft pile group foundations under unidirectional multidirectional motion input, large-scale shaking table test soil-nuclear system was carried out this paper. test, soil uniform silted clay, shear wave velocity 213 m/s. Considering similarity superstructure na...
