Abstract: A general approach has been established to assess the undrained stress-strain curve and effective stress path under monotonic loading from drained triaxial tests. An appropriate formulation of a drained and drained rebounded ...

Abstract: This paper provides a new analysis procedure for assessing the lateral response of an isolated pile in saturated sands as liquefaction develops in response to dynamic loading such as that generated during earthquake shaking. ...

Abstract: The technique presented deals with the assessment, based on drained test behavior and formulation, of the undrained postcyclic stress-strain behavior of sands under limited or complete (full) liquefaction and its associated ...

Abstract: Formulation of the mobilized force-displacement-capacity for the seismic design of a bridge abutment–embankment system is presented herein. As part of the seismic design philosophy of bridge structures, a realistic prediction ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the application of the strain wedge (SW) model to assess the response of laterally loaded isolated long piles, drilled shafts, and pile groups in layered soil (sand and/or clay) and rock deposits. ...
