Data-derived site response and its predictability using ergodic and site-specific methods

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors derived non-ergodic site response for California sites using an expanded version of the NGA-West2 database and investigated the degree to which different site response analysis methods capture observations.

Evaluation of resilient moduli for recycled crushed-rock-soil-mixtures using in-situ seismic techniques and large-scale resonant column tests

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a resilient modulus prediction model for loadbearing compaction fills of crushed-rock-soil-mixtures which start being recycled from adjacent cutting and tunneling in the recent construction of highways and high-speed railways in mountainous sites in Korea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of extent of remedial ground densification on seismic site effects via 2-D site response analyses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a quantitative insight into the local site amplification in remedially densified soils using two-dimensional (2-D) finite element models and show that the frequency content of ground motions propagating in densified sites is modified, with a shift of soil response harmonics towards higher frequencies.

Comparison of Pseudo-Static Limit Equilibrium and Elastic Wave Equation Analyses of Dynamic Earth Pressures on Retaining Structures

TL;DR: Wagner et al. as discussed by the authors compared the seismic earth pressure increment computed using limit equilibrium and elastic wave equation analyses of the interaction between a retaining structure and backfill material, and found that the elastic solution incorporates the reduced modulus and damping from the final iteration of the analysis, as well as the relative displacement records.

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.
