In situ assessment of soil dynamic parameters for characterizing nonlinear seismic site response using KiK-net vertical array data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used acceleration time histories data at eight KiK-net vertical arrays in Japan, recorded between January 2009 to June 2014, to analyze nonlinear seismic site response and quantitatively assess the relationships between the in situ soil dynamic parameters and the level of ground motion.

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.
