Field observations suggest that preshaken natural sands in some seismic regions have high
liquefaction resistance as a result of geologic aging and/or preshaking. This paper focuses …

The effect of extensive liquefaction on the liquefaction resistance of heavily preshaken
saturated silty sand is studied using a centrifuge experiment. The base of a 6-m …

Excavation-induced soil arching is a key factor influencing the responses of the ground and
underlying structures. This soil arching below an excavation base is defined as downward …

The paper presents numerical predictions of excess pore pressure, liquefaction and
settlement response of four centrifuge model tests of 6 m uniform deposits of saturated clean …

This article is the first of two companion papers studying the effect of overburden pressure
on the liquefaction behavior of saturated Ottawa sand. A series of four centrifuge tests were …

The effect of preshaking and repeated liquefaction on liquefaction resistance was studied in
a large-scale shaking table experiment, in which a sequence of 51 shakings was applied to …

Practical application of the state of practice field liquefaction charts at low and high
overburden is assessed with centrifuge testing. Available results of four centrifuge …

A number of constitutive models are nowadays implemented in numerical codes which
simulate the stress–strain behaviour of soil from very small to large strain. In this paper, the …

An identification technique is used to estimate the nonlinear dynamic properties of a soil
deposit using the acceleration records provided by a vertical (downhole) array along with a …

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 …
