With the aim of simulating the behavior of saturated sand with initial static shear (i.e., sloped ground) undergoing undrained cyclic loading, which leads to liquefaction and large cyclic shear strain development, an ...

This paper proposes a cyclic elasto-plastic model for simulating the undrained behavior of saturated sand with initial static shear (i.e., sloped ground) subjected to cyclic loading (i.e., earthquake). The model can describe ...

In nature, soil is frequently subjected to cyclic loading under drained or undrained conditions such as traffic loads and earthquakes. In order to investigate the behavior of soil during drained cyclic loading, an accurate ...

A constitutive model to describe the cyclic undrained behavior of saturated sand is presented. The increments in volumetric strain during undrained loading, which are equal to zero, are assumed to consist of increments ...

This paper summarizes the experimental results of a study conducted in order to investigate the effect of initial static shear on the undrained cyclic behavior of saturated sand under cyclic torsional shear loading up ...
