TL;DR: In this article, the effects of maximum particle size, particle gradation/sorting and fabric on bulk mechanical behavior of granular materials such as coarse grained soils and rockfills are investigated" from micromechanical considerations starting from the grain scale level, using numerical" simulations based on Discrete Element Modelling (DEM).

TL;DR: In this paper, the results from laboratory model tests on an embedded circular footing supported on geogrid cell reinforced foundation beds are presented, and various parameters studied in this testing program include the depth of placement of cellular mattress below the footing base, width, and height of the cellular mattress.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a new ground motion predictive equation (GMPE) for the Himalayan region considering both the recorded and simulated earthquakes of moment magnitude 5.3-8.7.

TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical relationship was found between the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) corrected N value ((N1)60cs) and measured shear wave velocity (Vs).

TL;DR: A casestudy on ground response analysis of a site in Ahmedabad City during the Bhuj earthquake is presented in this article, which shows that the varying degree of damage to multistorey buildings in the close proximity of Sabarmati river area was essentially due to amplification of the ground Amplification was attributed to the fact that the natural frequencies of the building and frequency content of ground motion recorded on the ground floor of the Regional Passport StaffQuarters building are in close proximity.
