ARCS: A one dimensional nonlinear soil model for ground response analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear stress-strain model called ARCS (A xis R otation and C ubic S pline) is presented, which is capable of reproducing any user-input modulus reduction and damping curve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of soil depth on inelastic seismic response of structures
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of soil stratum on inelastic displacement of three typical structures, viz. a four storey building, a continuous bridge, and a tower, is examined and adequacy of the site amplification models of the current design codes and available empirical relationships is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significance of site natural period effects for linear site amplification in central and eastern North America: Empirical and simulation-based models
TL;DR: In this article, linear simulation-based and empirical site amplification models including site natural period dependency parameters were evaluated to account for the distinctive amplification behavior near the site's natural period dependencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic response of underground reservoir structures in sand: Evaluation of Class-C and C1 numerical simulations using centrifuge experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of these tests were used to evaluate the predictive capabilities of Class-C and C1, nonlinear, finite element analyses of the seismic response of these relatively stiff buried structures.

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.
