The International Building Code requires a site-specific investigation for NEHRP F sites. However, established procedures for performing site-specific investigations of NEHRP F sites are limited. This study developed a simplified model to estimate de

This paper proposes a unified model to estimate the in-situ small strain shear modulus of clays, silts, sands, and gravels based on commonly available index properties of soils. We developed a model to predict the laboratory small strain shear modulu

The elastic response spectrum provides the engineer with two important elements of the seismic structural response: intensity and frequency content. However, this approach does not provide information on the phasing, number of occurrences of the maxi

Series of multi-directional pot tests were conducted in soft clay to characterize the near field soil response during multi-directional soil–pile interaction (Mayoral et al. [19,22]). This experimental evidence has shown that nonlinearities associa

Currently there is a lack of information and experimental data to formulate p–y curves in multi-directional loading conditions for soft clays. Experimental evidence has shown that uni-directional p–y curves are not able to represent correctly the

Percussive excavation is researched as a viable technology to reduce the shear strength of the dry lunar soil simulant JSC-1A. Experimental tests were conducted in a percussive and quasi-static test bed, which used a replica Surveyor scoop as the exc

The effective application of liquefaction mitigation techniques requires an improved understanding of the development and consequences of liquefaction. Centrifuge experiments were performed to study the dominant mechanisms of seismically induced sett

Seismically induced settlement of buildings with shallow foundations on liquefiable soils has resulted in significant damage in recent earthquakes. Engineers still largely estimate seismic building settlement using procedures developed to calculate p
