Journal ArticleDOI
Simplified seismic analysis of soil–well–pier system for bridges
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used three different approaches to evaluate their comparative performance and associated complexities: two-dimensional nonlinear (2D-NL), 2D-EqL, and one-dimensional spring-dashpot (1D).
Effectiveness of 1D ground response analyses at predicting site response at California vertical array sites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the ability of 1-D ground response simulations to match observed levels of site amplification from California vertical arrays using a VS-based damping model from the literature and find a higher percentage of California sites, as compared to KiK-net sites from Japan, have a reasonable match of empirical and theoretical transfer function shapes.

Centrifuge modeling and numerical analysis on seismic site response of deep offshore clay deposits
Yan-Guo Zhou,Chen Jie,Yunmin Chen,Bruce L. Kutter,Bao Li Zheng,Daniel W. Wilson,Mark Stringer,Edward C. Clukey +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of centrifuge shaking table tests and numerical simulations were performed on a slightly overconsolidated clay deposit at UC Davis to investigate the behavior of deep offshore clay deposits subjected to earthquake loadings.

A newly developed seismic microzonation model of Erbaa (Tokat, Turkey) located on seismically active eastern segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ)
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of local geological and geotechnical site conditions were considered in order to establish site characterization as the initial stage of the seismic microzonation models in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment Supporting the Use of Outcropping Rock Evolutionary Intensity Measures for Prediction of Liquefaction Consequences
TL;DR: In this article, a variety of intensity measures (IMs) were evaluated for predicting the liquefaction-induced residual settlement and tilt of shallow-founded structures, using data from both numerical and geometric features.

Effect of Soil Plasticity on Cyclic Response
Mladen Vucetic,Ricardo Dobry +1 more
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.
