Numerical Modelling of a Pile Model Test with Focus on Small-strain Stiffness

Jørn Hetland
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dynamic characteristics of a 1:20 scale model of a monopile offshore wind turbine foundation and found that the eigenfrequency and damping properties of the soil were also time-dependent or more correctly amplitude-dependent.

Fragility curves for rapid assessment of earthquake-induced damage to earth-retaining walls starting from optimal seismic intensity measures

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of fragility functions for earth-retaining structures, which adopt as input the Intensity Measures (IMs) best correlated to the response of the walls, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of site amplification on inelastic seismic response

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of seismic intensity and ductility demand, on the effective periods, is investigated, and inelastic site amplification is shown to be strongly correlated to the normalized effective period.

Comparison between Ramberg-Osgood and Hardin-Drnevich soil models in Midas GTS NX

TL;DR: In this paper, two widely used material models for predicting the dynamic behavior of soils, the Ramberg-Osgood and Hadrin-Drnevich models, were used to calibrate and evaluate the model built in the finite element software Midas GTS NX.

Effect of Soil Plasticity on Cyclic Response

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.
