SAP-sand mixtures as a geotechnical seismic isolation technology: from the dynamic characterization to a simple analytical design approach
Seismic isolation techniques are hardly implementable on existing historic structures, if their integrity is a matter of concern (Viggiani in 19th...

Bearing Capacity of a Footing on an Expansive Unsaturated Bentonite–Sand Mixture
Shallow foundations are usually built above the groundwater table. In such cases, this soil is considered dry in analysis and design, while it is...

Effect of moisture content on the time-dependent mechanical characteristics of loess
It is of great significance to study the time-dependent mechanical properties of loess, as they are closely related to loess landslides. The purpose...

Investigation of the Long-Term Strength Properties of a Discontinuity by Shear Relaxation Tests
The long-term strength of rock masses presents a strong correlation with the creep behavior, but its correlation with stress relaxation behavior has...

A hybrid numerical–probabilistic approach for machine learning-based prediction of liquefaction-induced settlement using CPT data
Traditional deterministic approaches for estimating liquefaction-induced settlement (LIS) do not account for uncertainties associated with earthquake...
