Abstract: Cyclic softening of fine-grained soils poses a significant hazard to geotechnical infrastructure in many parts of the world. Methods to numerically evaluate the cyclic softening and subsequent localization behavior in clays ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional, nonlinear, finite-difference analyses were used to investigate the stability of an embankment supported by spatially variable soil–cement columns. This study evaluated the improvement/merit of employing ...

Abstract: Assessment of earthquake-induced liquefaction is an important topic in geotechnical engineering due to the significant potential for damage to infrastructure. Some of the most significant infrastructure damage occurs due ...
