Abstract: Cyclic behavior of soils is often modeled using the Masing rules. When these rules are applied, hysteretic damping at large strains is overestimated. A non-Masing hysteresis model that reduces the size of hysteresis loops ...

Abstract: Dynamic centrifuge tests were performed to investigate multidirectional loading effects on the shear and volumetric response of saturated sands under partially drained, level-ground conditions. These tests illustrate that ...
