Detailed geotechnical characterization and in-depth liquefaction assessment using seismic
effective stress analyses are presented for 55 liquefaction case histories (sites) from …

Dilatancy is often considered a unique function of the stress ratio η= q/p′, in terms of the
triaxial stress variables q and p′. With this assumption, the direction of plastic flow is …

In saturated clean medium-to-dense cohesionless soils, liquefaction-induced shear
deformation is observed to accumulate in a cycle-by-cycle pattern (cyclic mobility). Much of …

Analytical and comprehensive, this state-of-the-art book, examines the mechanics and
engineering of unsaturated soils, as well as explaining the laboratory and field testing and …

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 …

A constitutive soil model that was originally developed to model liquefaction and cyclic
mobility has been updated to comply with the established guidelines on the dependence of …

A state-dependent elasto-plastic constitutive model for both saturated and unsaturated soils
is presented in this paper. The model, which is developed under an extended critical-state …

Soil liquefaction during earthquakes is a highly dynamic process involving rapid
development of excess pore water pressures (EPWP), reduction in soil stiffness and …

The research development of rockfill materials (RFM) was investigated by a series of large-
scale triaxial tests. It is observed that confining pressure and particle breakage play …

An elastoplastic model for sands is presented in this paper, which can describe stress–strain
behaviour dependent on mean effective stress level and void ratio. The main features of the …
