Seismic response of a rubble mound breakwater in Turkey Available to Purchase

This paper presents analyses of seismically induced deformations at Ereğli Fishery Port breakwater during the 1999 Kocaeli (İzmit), Turkey earthquake. The paper discusses: (a) observed ground deformations and displacements after the earthquake; (b) the results of field investigations by means of borings including standard penetration tests; (c) analyses of observed deformation mechanisms by a suite of methods; and (d) the possible contribution of soil liquefaction rupture on the observed deformations.
