The first step for learning any calculation code for seismic response analysis is an adequate
understanding of how to properly set the boundary conditions and the properties of the soil …

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

A generic loosely coupled effective stress method is presented in this article for one‐, two‐
and three‐dimensional (1D, 2D and 3D) nonlinear site response analyses. In this method …

This work presents a critical state plasticity model for predicting the response of sands to
cyclic loading. The well-known bounding surface SANISAND framework by Dafalias and …

The low viscosity and the ability to control solidification rate make colloidal nanosilica grout
an excellent ground-improvement solution which is functional for different engineering …

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 earthquake‐induced displacement of sloping soil mass is an important indicator of co‐
seismic landslide initiation. In this paper, an improved Newmark displacement model that …

A simplified model to reproduce the pore pressure build-up until liquefaction under seismic
shear loads is implemented in a one-dimensional code for loosely coupled site response …

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 …

The increasing interest in the undrained cyclic behaviour of unsaturated soils is justified by
the evidence of the beneficial effect of desaturation on liquefaction resistance and is thus …
