A new strain-based model is presented in this paper for assessing the residual excess pore-
water pressure (ue) buildup in fully saturated sands. In this model, the generation of residual …

In practical engineering, sand deposits or fills usually contain fines and are subjected to
cyclic shear stresses induced by earthquakes, traffic, or waves which are superimposed on …

An extensive experimental program of constant-volume (undrained) cyclic simple shear tests
was undertaken on Ticino, Italy, sand with different contents of nonplastic fines, ranging from …

An extensive experimental study was undertaken to investigate the influence of non-plastic
fines on pore water pressure generation and undrained cyclic shear strength of sand–silt …

The undrained cyclic response of coral sand in earthquake is an important issue that must
be considered in ocean engineering. A series of undrained cyclic triaxial tests was …

Rapid growth of mining activities parallel with recent technological progresses in this field
has led to continuous production of great amounts of mining waste. Tailings dams are …

Although the undrained anisotropic behaviour of sand has been extensively studied, little is
known about undrained anisotropy and liquefaction susceptibility of silt soil. This paper …

Excess pore water pressure (EPWP) plays an essential role in determining the cyclic
undrained behavior of saturated sandy soils. The influence of cyclic stress paths on the …

The simultaneous generation, dissipation and redistribution of excess pore pressures within
the layers of a soil deposit, due to a seismic event, can significantly modify the seismic …

Mixtures of calcareous and siliceous sediments are found in extensive areas of the earth
including the seismic-prone regions. However, a few experimental studies on dynamic …
