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

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 …

Cyclic mobility is exhibited by saturated medium to dense cohesionless soils during
liquefaction, due to soil skeleton dilation at large shear strain excursions. This volume-shear …

Under seismic excitation, liquefied clean medium to dense cohesionless soils may regain a
high level of shear resistance at large shear strain excursions. This pattern of response …

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 …

The theory of zero purely elastic range in stress space within the framework of bounding
surface plasticity is applied to sand constitutive modelling. The yield surface shrinks to zero …

The formulation of a sand plasticity model for geotechnical earthquake engineering
applications is presented. The model follows the basic framework of the stress-ratio …

The strength and deformation behaviors of granular soil depend on the material state, ie,
density and pressure. To interpret such state-dependent behavior, different state indices …

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

This paper presents the constitutive relations and the simulative potential of a new plasticity
model developed mainly for the seismic liquefaction analysis of geostructures. The model …
