DOI: 10.1002/lom3.10356
Abstract: This work provides a rare quantification of lateral spreading from Lagrangian measurements in a buoyant river plume by comparing four methods. Drifter motions, including along‐stream shear and rotation, can be incorrectly interpreted as lateral spreading.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2018.03.022
Abstract: Abstract Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading has caused severe damage and significant financial losses in major earthquakes distributed globally. Groups of piling installed in liquefaction- and lateral spreading-susceptible ground has been proven to be effective in reducing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab2071
Abstract: We investigate the shape of the jet break in within-beam gamma-ray burst (GRB) optical afterglows for various lateral jet structure profiles. We consider cases with and without lateral spreading and a range of inclinations within… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/8406062
Abstract: The prediction of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading is an important geotechnical engineering problem. In this paper, a simplified prediction method based upon Newmark sliding block analysis was proposed to predict the liquefaction-induced lateral spreading. The acceleration… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/8812564
Abstract: The lateral spreading of the ground due to liquefaction during earthquakes may considerably damage the embedded piles, which is an important issue in the seismic design of pile foundations. In this paper, nonlinear pseudostatic analyses… read more here.
