Sensitivity of 1-D ground motion predictions to analysis codes and material models using KiK-net vertical arrays

TL;DR: In this paper, a parametric study of ground response analysis (GRA) is conducted to evaluate the performance of various models using 60 ground motion records of varying intensity from five Kiban-Kyoshin (KiK-net) downhole array stations in Japan.

Effect of Fiber and Cement Additives on the Small-Strain Stiffness Behavior of Toyoura Sand

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed monotonic triaxial drained compression tests on medium dense specimens of sand-cement-fiber mixtures with different percentages of fiber and cement (e.g., 0-3%) additives.

Estimating epistemic uncertainty in soil parameters for nonlinear site response analyses: Introducing the Latin Hypercube Sampling technique

TL;DR: In this article , the effects of epistemic uncertainty in soil parameters on nonlinear (NL) site response analysis (SRA) results are validated against the data recorded at a well-instrumented geotechnical downhole array located in Japan.

A simplified constitutive model to simultaneously match modulus reduction and damping soil curves for nonlinear site response analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a new damping reduction factor was proposed to match the modulus reduction curve obtained from soil tests while disregarding the mismatch with the damping curve, which was implemented in conjunction with the hyperbolic model in DEEPSOIL.

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.
