In this study, we evaluate the effect of strong sediment/bedrock impedance contrasts on soil
amplification in Boston, Massachusetts, for typical sites along the Charles and Mystic Rivers …

To investigate the undrained cyclic behaviour of peaty organic soil under long-term cyclic
loading, a series of undrained cyclic triaxial compression tests was conducted. The …

A series of one-way and long-term (10,000 cycles) cyclic triaxial tests was carried out to
investigate the cyclic behavior of peaty soil from Kunming, China. The organic components …

Site-specific dynamic soil properties, such as nonlinear stiffness and damping of subsoil,
play a crucial role in assessment of vulnerability of structures incorporating seismic soil …

Soils with high organic content are frequently encountered beneath earthquake sensitive
infrastructure, such as bridges or levees. Historically, the dynamic properties of these …

Nowadays, policies addressed to prevention and mitigation of seismic risk need a
consolidated methodology finalised to the assessment of local seismic response in …

The shearing behaviour of organic soils, such as peat, under monotonic loading can be very
different than those of inorganic soils due to the presence of fibers. A series of one …

The dynamic behavior of a peat deposit in the north of the Netherlands is described. The
organic content ranges from 70% to 95%, which is high compared to the organic content …

The small strain dynamic properties of peat soil are a fundamental parameter related to the
mechanical behaviour of a structure constructed on peat ground. These parameters are …

Abstract On July 20, 2021, over 2000 ground subsidence events and collapses occurred in
Zhengzhou, China, after a heavy rainstorm. These events were mostly caused by the …
