Abstract: This study presents the use of controlled blasting for the determination of the in situ dynamic response of a sand deposit at a depth of 25 m under effective overburden stresses of approximately 250 kPa. The ...

Abstract: This study presents cyclic resistances of an instrumented medium dense sand (i.e., the Sand Array) and medium plastic silt (i.e., the Silt Array) deposit deduced from in situ dynamic testing using the controlled ...

Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the monotonic, cyclic, and postcyclic response of a medium stiff, plastic, lightly-overconsolidated, alluvial clayey silt deposit. The laboratory investigation is ...

Abstract: Regression models are presented to estimate the cyclic resistance of transitional silts as an alternative to semiempirical case history and stress history and normalized engineering parameter-based models using a database ...
