Abstract: The small-strain shear modulus Gmax is a key material parameter in modeling the behavior of soils subjected to dynamic loading. Recent experimental results indicate that seasonal weather interaction with near-surface soils ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the effects of strain history and aging on cyclic response and resistance of fine-grained coal refuse (FCR) using large-scale shaking table tests. The FCR specimen was ...

Abstract: Understanding the complex flow and sediment transport on vegetated slopes is important for ecological restoration and conservation projects. This study quantifies the erodibility of sand infill through densely vegetated ...

Abstract: The liquefaction resistance of postliquefaction sand is time-dependent and still largely unknown. In this paper, the time-dependent liquefaction resistance of a postliquefaction sand deposit is studied using 1-g shake table ...
