Development of an evaluation tool for earthquake induced settlements in sands.

Many areas of the world are seismically active and subject to destructive earthquakes. Geologists, seismologist, geotechnical engineers, structural engineers and others work together in these areas to protect the public from excessive earthquake related damage and injury. Simplified methods of analy...

Simplified methods of analysis are proposed for estimating probable settlements in either saturated or unsaturated sand deposits subjected to earthquake shaking.
