Dynamic soil characterization and site response estimation for Erbaa, Tokat (Turkey)
TL;DR: In this paper, ground response analyses in Erbaa, Turkey, a settlement in the North Anatolian Fault Zone, using one-dimensional equivalent linear analysis and empirical approaches based on shear wave velocity profiles are evaluated and compared.

Seismic performance of bridge piers: caisson vs pile foundations
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of foundation type and layout on the seismic response of a bridge pier is investigated, where a caisson and a 3×3 pile foundation are considered as suitable design options.

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.
