Abstract: In the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, liquefaction of gravelly soils from reclaimed fills occurred in CentrePort, Wellington, New Zealand. This study presents constant volume monotonic and cyclic simple shear tests on well-graded ...

Abstract: Following the Cephalonia, Greece, 2014 earthquake sequence (Mw=6.1 and Mw=6.0), liquefaction of gravelly earthfill materials at the ports of Lixouri and Argostoli resulted in the manifestation of ground cracking and ...

Abstract: Soil liquefaction response is significantly affected by soil gradation (particle size, angularity, coefficient of uniformity) and density. However, the literature on the factors affecting liquefaction resistance with initial ...

Abstract: Pile driving is a complex dynamic process where little insight has been garnered in terms of the energy transfer from the driver to the soil and surrounding structures. Ground motion measurements during driving of full-scale ...

Abstract: Developing empirical correlations between the shear-wave velocity (Vs) and the standard penetration test (SPT) blow count has been a long-term practice for sandy, silty, and clayey soils. However, the existing correlations ...

Abstract: The Geotechnical Women Faculty (GTWF) project has aimed since its inception in 2016 to promote gender parity among faculty within the subfield of geotechnical engineering and to increase the quality and number of connections ...

Abstract: Liquefaction assessment has primarily been performed using in situ penetration testing, but this practice has become problematic for gravelly soils. For example, standard penetration test (SPT)- or cone penetration test ...
