The effects of multi-scale particle shape characteristics on the small-strain stiffness of
granular soils remain controversial. This study revisits this topic using well-calibrated three …

This paper presents a new approach to assess the liquefaction triggering of saturated sandy
soils based on comprehensive laboratory datasets in conjunction with the concept of binary …

Whether the shear wave velocity in sand is dependent on grain shape is a basic question of
considerable interest, yet remains open owing to the lack of solid experimental evidence …

Shear modulus is an essential parameter for deformation prediction and site response
analysis of geological problems. This paper considers the dynamic shear modulus …

Significant uncertainty exists in granular materials, as demonstrated by experimental and
simulation studies. Quantifying this uncertainty by integrating refined discrete element …

Small-strain shear modulus (G 0) is a fundamental property required in dynamic analyses.
For sandy soils, G 0 may be affected strongly by particle characteristics such as uniformity …

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 …

As a lightweight and energy-dissipating filler, rubber-sand mixture (RSM) is promising for a
wide range of applications in civil engineering. However, the shear strength of RSM …

The critical state (CS), the anchor concept in the critical state soil mechanics (CSSM)
framework, has been comprehensively evaluated in triaxial stress conditions, where all the …

Clayey/silty sands are widespread as naturally sedimentary soils such as marine deposits in
estuaries and offshore locations. They belong to a unique class of gap-graded soils …
