Abstract: The effects of multiple modes on Rayleigh wave dispersion are discussed to reduce the ambiguity of uniqueness of shear wave velocity

Abstract: To investigate the seismic earth pressure on a shallow foundation, a dynamic centrifuge test using a sinusoidal sweep motion was performed on a superstructure–footing model embedded in dry sand deposits. The resultant ...

Abstract: Effective methods for evaluating the bending moment of a pile caused by lateral forces at the pile head are available. However, the effects of axial load variation caused by the overturning moment on pile responses have ...

Abstract: A pair of large centrifuge tests was conducted to evaluate the effect of soil-cement grid reinforcement on the seismic response of a deep soft soil profile. The soil profile consisted of a 23-m-thick layer of lightly ...

Abstract: Four centrifuge tests were performed to investigate the reinforcing mechanisms of soil-cement columns in liquefiable sand. Two unimproved baseline models and two models improved with soil-cement columns were subjected to ...
