Deformations of sandy soils around geotechnical structures generally involve strains in the
range small (0· 01%) to medium (0· 5%). In this strain range the soil exhibits non-linear …

The shear modulus (G) and damping ratio (D) of two natural clays and both siliceous and
carbonatic pluvially-deposited dry sands have been measured at the authors' laboratory by …

NCHRP synthesis 368 explores the current practices of departments of transportation
associated with cone penetration testing (CPT). The report examines cone penetrometer …

Soil behavior is complex and thus requires quantification by a reasonably good number of
different engineering parameters. Consequently, the seismic piezocone test (SCPTu) is …

抄録 The small strain stiffness and anisotropic nature of two sands with different geological
origin have been determined via laboratory seismic tests performed in a triaxial cell. Dry …

Calcareous sand deposits are widely distributed along the shoreline of Mediterranean Sea
in Egypt; known as the North Coast area, which covers promising areas for industrial and …

This paper focuses on the properties of a crushable, uncemented, carbonate sand, retrieved
from an artificial island to be used for petroleum production offshore of the United Arab …

A precise evaluation of shear wave velocity, V s, is a crucial issue in the design of
foundations subjected to dynamic loading, liquefaction evaluation, and soil improvement …

Contradictory conclusions may arise when assessing liquefaction resistance of sands based
on penetration tests and shear wave velocity. To provide a more unified analysis framework …

Carbonate soils are located in temperate and tropical regions of the earth. This kind of soil
has special mechanical properties compared with siliceous sand due to special sedimentary …
