Abstract: The importance of particle shape, when considering the engineering behavior of sand, has been well-documented. Angular sands tend to have greater maximum and minimum void ratios, a larger friction angle, and a greater ...

Abstract: Four centrifuge tests supplemented by calibrated numerical simulations were performed to evaluate passive wedge formation and limiting lateral pressures imposed on a large, stiff foundation during liquefaction-induced ...

Abstract: Deflection walls were considered for mitigating lateral spreading-induced bending moments on large-dimension foundations. The efficacy of the walls was tested using dynamic centrifuge testing of a large-dimension rectangular ...
