RISClassification and State-Parameter Assessment of Granular Soils Using the Seismic Cone
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology developed for soil classification and state parameter (ψ) evaluation for granular soils based on seismic cone penetration measurements. The method uses a two-stage soil classification ...
Stress-Based CPTu Cyclic Liquefaction Triggering Procedures: Improvements from a State Parameter Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The study of the liquefaction phenomenon and its consequences has been of permanent research interest in geotechnical earthquake engineering due to the wide recognition of its significant damage potential. However, despite ...

Theoretical Analysis and Finite-Element Simulation for Nonlinear Poroelastic Behavior of Cylinder Expansion in Infinite Media under Transient Pore-Fluid Flow Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The response of infinite cylinder expanding in a poroelastic medium is investigated analytically in this paper on the basis of Biot's consolidation theory. The approach is based on the local equivalence between the response ...
Interpretation of Plate Load Tests on Residual Soil Site
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses problems of interpreting the results of loading tests in a residual homogeneous, cohesive-frictional soil. Data are presented comparing load-settlement behavior measured from tests carried out using ...
Discussion of “SPT Hammer Energy Ratio versus Drop Height” by T. Leslie Youd, Hannah W. Bartholomew, and Jamison H. Steidl

Characterization of Cemented Sand in Triaxial Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work aims at studying the stress-strain-strength behavior of an artificially cemented sandy soil produced through the addition of portland cement. An analysis of the mechanical behavior of the soil is performed from ...
Simplified Model for Interpretation of Undrained Shear-Strength from Field-Vane Tests in Transient Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Interpretation of field vane tests in transient soils requires assessing partial drainage effects within the soil surrounding the vane. This subject is investigated in this paper using a nonlinear poroelastic model to ...
