Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dimitriadi, V., Bouckovalas, G., & Chaloulos, Y. (2015). Numerical analysis of liquefaction affected shallow foundations performance on improved ground. In Geotechnical Engineering for Infrastructure and Development: XVI European Conference on Soil Mecha

A novel numerical methodology is presented and used to simulate the seismic response of footings on liquefiable ground, locally improved in order to reduce settlements and increase the bearing capacity of the foundation. The numerical simulation adop... Read More about Numerical analysis of liquefaction affected shallow foundations performance on improved ground..

Analysis of strip foundation performance on liquefied ground with limited ground improvement (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dimitriadi, V., & Bouckovalas, G. (2015). Analysis of strip foundation performance on liquefied ground with limited ground improvement. In Geotechnical Engineering for Infrastructure and Development: XVI European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechn

According to modern seismic codes, the use of shallow foundations on liquefiable soils is only acceptable after proper ground improvement underneath and around the foundation. Still, there are no widely acceptable guidelines for choosing the required... Read More about Analysis of strip foundation performance on liquefied ground with limited ground improvement.

Dynamic compaction of collapsible soils – case study from a motorway project in Romania (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tsitsas, G., Dimitriadi, V., Zekkos, D., Dumitru, M., Ciortan, R., & Manea, S. (2015). Dynamic compaction of collapsible soils – case study from a motorway project in Romania. In Geotechnical Engineering for Infrastructure and Development: XVI European

Dynamic compaction is a widely used ground improvement method applicable to a variety of soils including collapsible loess. The paper presents site characterization and ground improvement performance results obtained from a 22 kilometer motorway proj...
