    Minimum slope limit for lateral spread

    Mccoy I was wondering if the MLR models for predicting ground displacements would cover as low as S = 0.01%. Otherwise, from my knowledge, a flat surface would fall on ground oscillation behavior Thanks for the reference, I will look that up.

    Minimum slope limit for lateral spread

    I'll try to explain: urban setting with an almost flat surface. A 1 m non-liquefied sandy silt layer is assumed to slide during the liquefaction of a loose sand layer 5 m deep. I am using a PGA of 0.528g.

    Minimum slope limit for lateral spread

    Hello. What is the minimum slope limit for lateral spreading to occur? The MLR by Bartlett and Youd (1993, 2002) gives limits at 1% m while some other publications have limits are at 0.25%. The site in my analysis has a slope of 0.01% very far from any body of water, which i'm arguing that...

    Direct integration vs Modal history in SAP2000

    Thank you stressed, that is insightful For the first case, i did not specify any NL links. The 2nd case (bridge-pile) now considers NL links. I will try your suggestions.

    Direct integration vs Modal history in SAP2000

    Hi all. I am analyzing my bridge model using non-linear direct integration and modal FNA analysis but the results from both tests are different. Modal FNA analysis give smaller result vs. direct integration. I did try using displacement and acceleration time history for direct integration and...
