Abstract: Based on a synthesis of published laboratory data, two types of cyclic threshold shear strain are examined and their approximate magnitudes identified for different types of soils. They are the linear cyclic threshold shear ...

Abstract: Cyclic threshold shear strains are fundamental cyclic soil properties that have not been fully investigated. To learn more about the threshold shear strains for cyclic degradation,

Abstract: A study on the influence of the plasticity index (PI) on the cyclic stress‐strain parameters of saturated soils needed for site‐response evaluations and seismic microzonation is presented. Ready‐to‐use charts are included, ...

Abstract: A study of the effect of the overconsolidation ratio (OCR) on the cyclic shear modulus degradation of clay is presented. The research is based on a series of strain‐controlled, constant‐volume, cyclic, simple‐shear tests ...

Abstract: The method for cyclic characterization of liquefiable sands, which employs the concept of dynamic backbone curve in conjunction with the Masing criteria for construction of unloading and reloading branches of cyclic loops, ...

Abstract: The effects of the shear strain rate

Abstract: Cyclic threshold shear strains are fundamental cyclic soil properties that have not been fully investigated. To learn more about the threshold shear strains for cyclic degradation, γtd, and cyclic pore water pressure ...

Abstract: A model for the behavior of fully saturated normally consolidated and overconsolidated marine clays subjected to uniform cyclic strain-controlled and staged cyclic loading under simple shear conditions is proposed. Staged ...
