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 …

This study presents cyclic resistances of an instrumented medium dense sand (ie, the Sand
Array) and medium plastic silt (ie, the Silt Array) deposit deduced from in situ dynamic testing …

Available data on post-liquefaction volumetric strain were collected from the results of tests
conducted in several laboratories on both undisturbed samples and reconstituted samples …

This paper describes the results of a laboratory investigation performed on clean sand and
low-plasticity silty sands, recovered at different locations of the bank stretch at Scortichino …

This study presents the liquefaction potential in Kahramanmaras city, which is located on the

Laboratory tests are well recognized as highly appropriate for defining the engineering
properties of geomaterials, in terms of constitutive law parameters for modeling geotechnical …

As part of dynamic stability evaluations of earth embankments founded on laminated sand
and clay deposits, the need to characterize their cyclic resistance became critical for the …

Recovery of damaged water supply systems after severe earthquakes is one of the priorities
to return to normal conditions. Water supply systems are intrinsically interdependent with …
