Abstract: The original NorSand (ONS) state-dilatancy law (ONS-SDL) presents challenges when trying to make changes in the formulation of the critical state line or stress–dilatancy rule and the associated yield surface. Additionally, ...

Abstract: Modulus reduction and damping values are commonly plotted against cyclic shear strain amplitude (γc), and the resulting curves are known to depend on mean effective stress (p′), plasticity characteristics, strain rate, and ...

Abstract: Advanced constitutive models require several input parameters, some of which represent intrinsic soil properties and some mathematical fitting parameters. Calibrating these modeling parameters is often a challenging component ...

Abstract: This paper presents one-dimensional ground response simulations of centrifuge models involving soft clay deposits subjected to ground motions of varying intensity. Total stress ground response simulations were performed ...
