Sivapalan Gajan, Auteur ; Kutter, Bruce L., Auteur |The effectiveness of structural fuse mechanisms used to improve the performance of buildings during seismic loading depends on their capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, isolation, and self-centering characteristics. Although rocking shallow[...]

Lijun Deng, Auteur ; Kutter, Bruce L., Auteur ; Sashi K. Kunnath, Auteur |In good soil conditions, spread footings for bridges are less expensive than deep foundations. Furthermore, rocking shallow foundations have some performance advantages over conventional fixed-base foundations; they can absorb some of the ductil[...]

Sivapalan Gajan, Auteur ; Kutter, Bruce L., Auteur |It has been recognized that the ductility demands on a superstructure might be reduced by allowing rocking behavior and mobilization of the ultimate capacity of shallow foundations during seismic loading. However, the absence of practical reliab[...]

Sivapalan Gajan, Auteur ; Kutter, Bruce L., Auteur |Current design guidelines for shallow foundations supporting building and bridge structures discourage footing rocking or sliding during seismic loading. Recent research indicates that footing rocking has the potential to reduce ductility demand[...]

Scott J. Brandenberg, Auteur ; Kutter, Bruce L., Auteur ; Daniel W. Wilson, Auteur |Hardware, software, and analysis of transient response of sources and receivers are presented for a piezoelectric bender element system designed to measure shear wave velocities in noisy environments. Signal-to-noise ratio is improved by signal [...]

Erik J. Malvick, Auteur ; Kutter, Bruce L., Auteur ; Ross W. Boulanger, Auteur |This paper presents analyses of a test conducted on a 9-m-radius centrifuge to study the redistribution of pore water during diffusion of earthquake-induced excess pore pressures in a sand slope with embedded silt layers. The centrifuge model de[...]
