NGA Ground Motion Model for the Geometric Mean Horizontal Component of PGA, PGV, PGD and 5% Damped Linear Elastic Response Spectra for Periods Ranging from 0.01 to 10 s
TL;DR: In this article, a new empirical ground motion model for PGA, PGV, PGD and 5% damped linear elastic response spectra for periods ranging from 0.01-10 s was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the Liquefaction Susceptibility of Fine-Grained Soils
TL;DR: The results of cyclic tests indicate that the Chinese criteria are not reliable for determining the liquefaction susceptibility of fine-grained soils as discussed by the authors, and the plasticity index (PI) is a better indicator of soil susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normalized shear modulus and material damping ratio relationships
TL;DR: In this article, a modified hyperbolic model and a statistical analysis of existing Resonant Column and Torsional Shear test results for 122 specimens obtained from South Carolina, North Carolina, and Alabama are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Damping formulation for nonlinear 1D site response analyses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented two new soil damping formulations implemented in nonlinear one-dimensional site response analysis for small and large strains, which were used separately and simultaneously in non-linear site response analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Exact Solutions of Wave Propagation Problems to Guide Implementation of Nonlinear Seismic Ground Response Analysis Procedures
Annie O. L. Kwok,Jonathan P. Stewart,Youssef M. A. Hashash,Neven Matasovic,Robert M. Pyke,Zhiliang Wang,Zhaohui Yang +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, exact linear frequency-domain solutions for body wave propagation through an elastic medium are used to establish guidelines for two issues that have long been a source of confusion for users of nonlinear codes.

Damping at Small Strains in Cyclic Simple Shear Test
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cyclic strain amplitude, frequency and plasticity index (PI), silt content, vertical effective consolidation stress, and overconsolidation ratio (OCR) on the equivalent viscous damping ratio were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A direct simple shear device for measuring small-strain behavior
M. Doroudian,Mladen Vucetic +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a double specimen direct simple shear (DSDSS) was designed to investigate static and cyclic properties of soils at small strains, such as cyclic stress-strain loops, Gmax, secant shear modulus, Gs, and the equivalent viscous damping ratio, λ.
Dynamic Response of San Francisco Bay Mud
Kenneth H Stokoe,P. F. Lodde +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, shear moduli and material damping of undisturbed samples of San Francisco Bay mud were investigated in the laboratory with the resonant column method, over a range in single-amplitude shearing strains from 0.0002 to 0.2 percent and over a ranges in confining pressures from 2.5 to 80 psi.
