Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a prominent and impactful natural hazard responsible for
substantial economic losses worldwide. Hence, engineers and researchers are currently …

The liquefaction or softening of the soils and the potential vulnerability of existing buildings
on liquefiable soils continue to be of major concern to the public because it has repeatedly …

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 …

Dynamic shear modulus plays an important role in the seismic assessment of geotechnical
systems. Changes in the degree of water saturation influence dynamic soil properties …

Near-surface soils in geotechnical and geoenvironmental applications are often
unsaturated, and natural or imposed changes in temperature may lead to a softening effect …

The results of previous studies on silt and clay indicated that variations in the small strain
shear modulus, G max, during hydraulic hysteresis had a non-linear increasing trend with …

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 …

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 …

Over the last 40 years, there have been several ship losses carrying granular mineral ores
that are believed to have been caused by the sudden shifting of the cargo as a result of …

Unsaturated soils in engineered geostructures like embankments or retaining walls may
experience seismic compression during earthquakes due to particle rearrangement …
