Discrimination and evaluation for seismic subsidence areas in loess sites along the highway from Baiyin to Lanzhou;

Study on seismic subsidence of loess ground under simulated-earthquake loads;

Finite element analysis on seismic subsidence features of foundation soil;

Experimental research on seismic subsidence features of mixed backfill soil in Taiyuan;

Field tests on negative skin friction along piles caused by seismic settlement of loess;

Laboratory study of effect of dry density on seismic settlement of compacted loess;

Our building aseismic design criterion has not judged seismic settlement of soft clay and defined relevant aseismic means.

Several typical damage examples of structural settlement made by earthquake are discussed and then the necessity of study for the earthquake-induced settlement is emphasized.

An example to determine the earthquake-induced settlement of reinforced-ash embankment by adynamic FEM is given.

In this paper a series of seismic settlement tests of recently deposited muddy soil in Nanjing city were performed by WFI dynamic cyclic triaxial apparatus made in England.
