Abstract: Lateral dynamic experiments were performed on small-scale pile groups at two different sites, one with stiff soil and the other with soft soil. The pile diameters and spacings were varied to create spacing to diameter (

Abstract: Sands consisting of pumice particles are found in the northern part of the North Island of New Zealand. These pumice sands are highly crushable, compressible, and lightweight due to the vesicular nature of the particles, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of numerical models that investigated the seismic response of a simple two span prototype bridge system during warm and frozen temperatures. Models from both temperature conditions were ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the small-strain shear modulus (Gmax) of natural pumiceous (NP) sands, a type of crushable volcanic soil commonly found in the North Island of New Zealand. These sands are also compressible and ...
