Studies of earthquakes over the last 50 years and the examination of dynamic soil behavior
reveal that soil behavior is highly nonlinear and hysteretic even at small strains. Non-linear …

This book outlines the practice and theory of the five key tests used in site characterisation
by Geomechanical and Environmental Engineers. These tests are: Standard Penetration …

Segunda edição do livro, totalmente atualizada, com dados brasileiros. A investigação
geotécnica constitui-se em pré-requisito para projetos seguros e econômicos. Ensaios de …

Data from laboratory geotechnical tests on till recovered from beneath Ice Stream B, West
Antarctica, at the Upstream B camp (hereinafter the UpB till) show that failure strength of this …

The time-dependent behavior of soils has been investigated extensively through one-
dimensional and triaxial test conditions. Most of the observations in literature have focused …

The results from an experimental study on silty sands are presented and evaluated in view
of the framework of critical-state or steady-state soil mechanics. Drained and undrained …

Experimental evidences have shown deficiencies of the existing overstress and creep
models for viscous behaviour of natural soft clay. The purpose of this paper is to develop a …

The interpretation of in-situ geotechnical test data needs a unified approach so that soil
parameters are evaluated in a consistent and complementary manner with laboratory …

Eight dynamic model tests were performed on a 9 m radius centrifuge to study the behavior
of single piles and pile groups in liquefiable and laterally spreading ground. Pile diameters …
