Seismic response of unsaturated soil layers may differ from that of saturated or dry soil
deposits. A set of centrifuge experiments was conducted to study the influence of partial …

Dynamic shear modulus plays an important role in the seismic assessment of geotechnical
systems. Changes in the degree of water saturation influence dynamic soil properties …

The seismic behavior of pile-supported systems has been an active area of research over
the past decades. However, focus has mostly been on evaluating the seismic response of …

This study develops the first-of-its-kind seismic fragility models for estimation of approach
backfill differential settlement for statewide bridges in California. Seismic compression …

Dynamic properties of soils including small-strain shear modulus (Gmax), shear modulus
reduction function (G/Gmax), and damping (D) are affected by changes in the degree of …

The performance of near-surface geosystems during earthquake shaking depends on the
free-field response of the soil layer and soil–structure interaction mechanisms. This paper …

Dynamic properties of partially saturated soils may differ from those in dry condition, which
may lead to different seismic site response. A set of degree of saturation-controlled …

Dynamic properties of soils including small-strain and strain-dependent shear modulus and
damping are influenced by the degree of saturation and inter-particle suction forces. This …

Differences in the degree of saturation in soil layers, from the time the soil properties were
measured to the time an earthquake occurs, can influence seismic site response …

In seismic activity regions, the analysis and design of pile that supported structures require
an accurate prediction of the pile response and the load resistance to lateral shaking caused …
