Circular tunnels in sand: dynamic response and efficiency of seismic analysis methods at extreme lining flexibilities

Grigorios Tsinidis, +2 more
- 11 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic centrifuge test on a flexible circular model tunnel, embedded in dry sand, is analyzed by means of rigorous full dynamic analysis of the coupled soil-tunnel system, applying various non-linear soil and soil tunnel interface models.

Application of a Hill-Climbing technique to the formulation of a new cyclic nonlinear elastic constitutive model

David M. G. Taborda, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a simple cyclic nonlinear elastic model, which is shown to be unable to simulate adequately the damping ratio measured under small and large strain amplitudes, is modified by applying the Hill-Climbing technique to the determination of a new relationship describing the unloading/reloading behaviour of soil under cyclic loading.

Moduli and Damping Factors for Dynamic Analyses of Cohesionless Soils

H. Bolton Seed, +3 more
- 01 Nov 1986 - 
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.
