Abstract: The role of underground metro tunnels in a modern urban society is indispensable. Nowadays, these populous metro tunnel networks are becoming a prime target for terror strikes around the world. Considering these terror ...

Abstract: The effects of the initial orientation of principal stress axes and subsequent rotation of principal stresses on liquefaction susceptibility of sands were investigated. Monotonic and cyclic hollow cylinder torsional shear ...

Abstract: The effects of phase shift (δ) between compression and shear waves, and consolidation stress ratio (Kc) on the liquefaction resistance of sand under simultaneous compression and shear wave loading is investigated using a ...

Abstract: Anisotropic characteristics of granular soil consolidated to various initial stress states were evaluated under generalized strain paths using hollow cylinder torsional shear tests. Fraser River sand samples prepared by ...
