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 …

Centrifuge testing has been increasingly implemented to characterize the mechanical and
hydraulic behavior of partially saturated soils. Common procedures include unsaturated flow …

A large quantity of end-of-life tire (ELT) rubber is being blended with thermoplastic
polyurethane to provide a durable and ecologically friendly material for flexible surfaces …

A review of liquefaction case histories shows that sand deposits containing some fines were
common in past liquefaction events. While current liquefaction mitigation measures are …

Pore water pressure development through seismic effect is one of the key reasons for
liquefaction failures in the foundations, dams, bridges, slopes and other vulnerable …

The objective of this study was to investigate the liquefaction resistance of chemically
improved sandy soils in a straightforward and accurate manner. Using only the existing …

Shear modulus (SM) and damping ratio (DR) are significant in seismic design and the
performance of geotechnical systems. The evaluation of soil reactions to dynamic loads …

This paper deals with the characterization of dry sand-rubber tire shred mixtures to find
shear strength and dynamic properties. A series of ordinary triaxial shear tests, direct shear …

The dynamic properties of a clean sand under different degrees of saturation were
investigated using a modified custom built Direct Simple Shear (DSS) apparatus at the …

The distinct difference between the lunar surface (Moon) and the Earth forced space
research organizations (SRO) and researchers to study the geotechnical properties of the …
