Abstract: This paper presents a numerical model for calculating permanent strains and stresses in sand caused by cyclic loading. The model is fitted to the results of drained static and cyclic triaxial tests. The model can predict ...

Abstract: An analytical model has been developed to predict permanent stresses and strains in sands under cyclic loading for general drainage and boundary conditions. Here the model is combined with the finite element method to ...

Abstract: An analytical approach has been developed to predict permanent settlements of foundations subjected to earthquake shaking. The validity of this approach is evaluated through comparison with results from centrifuge tests ...

Abstract: A general method is presented for the prediction of earthquake‐induced permanent deformations of foundations resting on sand. Predictions arebased upon experimental results from common static and cyclic tests; they may ...
