Dynamic Properties of Firoozkooh Sand-Silt Mixtures

TL;DR: A series of undrained resonant column, monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests were performed to investigate the effects of non-plastic fines on the dynamic properties of Firoozkooh sand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of the dynamic amplification factor at backfill soil behind a gravity wall

TL;DR: The response of gravity retaining walls under strong earthquake motions is a topic of concern since large catastrophic failures have become more frequent during earthquake and post-earthquake events as discussed by the authors, which is a common occurrence during large catastrophic failure.

Microzonazione sismica e risposta sismica locale: specificità e aspetti critici

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comparison of two different approaches, i.e., Microzonazione sismica (MS) and RSL (Rosi-Posta Sismica Locale (RSL).
Journal ArticleDOI

Expanded Byrne model for evaluating seismic compression

TL;DR: Seismic compression is the accrual of contractive volumetric strain in unsaturated or partially saturated sandy soils during earthquake shaking and has caused significant distress to overlying and...

Integration of Viscoplastic Effects in a One-Dimensional Constitutive Model for Ground Response Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, strain-rate effects affect both the stiffness and damping behavior of soils during an earthquake, yet existing constitutive models for ground response analysis are typically formulated within a r...

Effect of Soil Plasticity on Cyclic Response

TL;DR: In this article, a study on the influence of the plasticity index (PI) on the cyclic stress-strain parameters of saturated soils needed for site response evaluations and seismic microzonation is presented.

Moduli and Damping Factors for Dynamic Analyses of Cohesionless Soils

TL;DR: In this article, a simple relationship is proposed to relate the shear modulus of a cohesionless soil to a modulus stiffness coefficient, which is a soil property and depends on the characteristics of the soil, and the effective mean principal stress at any point in the soil.
