Abstract: An experimental study aimed at providing insights into the effects of the inclination of principal stress directions with respect to the bedding plane and the role of principal stress rotation on the cyclic resistance of ...

Abstract: The direct simple shear (DSS) test is commonly used to assess the shear strength of soil, estimate liquefaction resistance, or calibrate constitutive models under the assumption of idealized simple shear conditions even ...

Abstract: In practice, liquefaction assessment is driven by earthquake case histories, but the case-history database is limited and there are important gaps in the information available. As a result, laboratory tests have continued ...
