Abstract: Shear wave velocity (V-s) measurements were carried out in a triaxial testing program on three different cohesionless soils. The V-s was measured using bender elements during consolidation and at ultimate steady state. After consolidation the soil samples were loaded in shear under...

Abstract: The initial state of a sand, defined by the void ratio and effective mean normal stress, can be used to predict its large-strain response. Laboratory studies have shown that the shear-wave velocity of a sand is controlled primarily by the effective confining stresses and void ratio....

Abstract: The Canadian geotechnical engineering community has completed a major collaborative 5 year research project entitled the Canadian Liquefaction Experiment (CANLEX). The main objective of the project was to study the phenomenon of soil liquefaction, which can occur in saturated sandy...
