Centrifuge modeling of pore pressure buildup in a sand deposit as a result of shaking is
evaluated by comparison with a large-scale experiment. In large-scale Test SG-1, a 5.6-m …

Shear wave velocity is an important parameter for the design of geotechnical systems,
particularly in seismically active areas. The availability of a reliable method for measuring …

A newly constructed multidirectional cyclic direct simple shear (mcDSS) device with unique
capabilities is introduced. This mcDSS apparatus, called the Illinois mcDSS (or I-mcDSS) …

Accurate estimation of shear wave velocity is necessary in most geotechnical earthquake
engineering applications. This paper details two different methodologies implemented for …

The determination of the dynamic properties of the soil is a critical issue in geotechnical
engineering. It is of a particular importance in problems involving dynamic excitation of soil …

The availability of reliable methods for measuring cone penetration resistance and shear
wave velocity in centrifuge models is important in order to fully characterize the soil. It is …

Liquefaction of saturated sands and other granular soils due to earthquake loading has
been a major cause of damage to constructed facilities. One of the major liquefaction …

Centrifuge and large-scale testing in geotechnical engineering are very useful tools for
modeling soil behavior under different loading conditions, particularly under earthquake …

Shear wave velocity is an essential parameter to characterize the dynamic behavior of the
soil in small-scale samples, centrifuge models as well as field deposits. In this paper, the …
