To understand the strain-dependent shear modulus and damping ratio of reconstituted pumice sand samples, a series of dynamic deformation tests was performed using hollow cylindrical torsional shear test apparatus. The effects of confining pressure level and ...

This study uses laboratory experiment to clarify the failure mechanism of granular soil slopes when subjected to high rainfall intensity. A rainfall simulator was employed to perform tests on slopes with convex and concave profiles; the slopes were non- homogeneous ...

This paper presents a complete methodology for both probabilistic and deterministic assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering potential based on the cone penetration test
CPT. A comprehensive worldwide set of CPT-based liquefaction field case histories ...
