Centrifuge modeling of the behavior of caisson-type quay walls during earthquakes
TLDR
A series of 2-D centrifuge modeling tests with an in-flight shaker were carried out in order to model both the deformation characteristics of backfill and the seismic responses of caisson-type walls embedded in soils with various permeabilities as mentioned in this paper.About:

The stiffness degradation and damping ratio evolution of Taipei Silty Clay under cyclic straining
Chung Jung Lee,Sheau-Feng Sheu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Ramberg-Osgood equation was used with a stiffness degradation model to calculate degraded secant moduli, which can be used to describe softening and hardening behavior under irregular cyclic straining.
