This paper reviews the state of the art of soil behavior in the range of small strains and its
constitutive modeling, which is an important issue when predicting displacements under …

In this study, correlations between the shear wave velocity of granular materials and various
descriptors of grain morphology are investigated. Based on a comprehensive study of the …

Traditional soil mechanics idealizes geomaterials as being in a dry or fully water-saturated
state. However, there is a zone between the ground surface and the groundwater table …

The aim of the current study is to provide evidence regarding the influence of particle size on
the dynamic properties in granular materials. Experiments using a resonant column (RC) …

The paper combines experimental and numerical analyses to study the relation between
small strain stiffness and micro-structure of an idealized granular material under isotropic …

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 …

Small and intermediate strain properties of soils are key parameters to assess ground
motion characteristics during an earthquake and other dynamic events. These properties are …

Resonant column tests were carried out on Hostun sand mixed with 5%, 10% and 20% non-
plastic fines (defined as grains smaller than 0.075 mm) in order to quantify the combined …

This paper shows the effect of anisotropic stress state on intermediate strain properties of
cylindrical samples containing spherical glass particles. Tests were carried out with the …

The technical note presents findings of an experimental study on the applicability of
equivalent intergranular void ratio e* eq concept in sand-plastic fines mixtures under …
