Numerical evaluation of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading with an advanced plasticity model for liquefiable sand

TL;DR: In this paper, two different approaches are employed to predict the magnitude of lateral spreading induced by liquefaction using a two-dimensional finite difference analysis with an advanced plasticity constitutive model for the liquefiable sand.

Shear modulus and damping relationships for dynamic analysis of compacted backfill soils

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of more than 400 tests gathered from the literature were used to develop correlations between the small strain shear modulus, Gmax and relative density for compacted coarse-grained soils, which can be used when the mechanical properties are not available.

Effects of Clay Minerals on Small-Strain Shear Modulus and Damping Ratio of Saturated Clay

TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of montmorillonite and kaolinite (M-K) ratio as well as consolidation time on small-strain shear modulus and damping ratio of clay soils were explored.

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.
