...M. Talesnick; I. Omer; M. Ghafghazi Data from simple shear testing can be significantly enhanced through implementation of local, in-soil measurement of shear stress and shear strain. Use of such tools circumvents difficulties in dealing with data collected through measurements made at the specimen...

...Zach Bullock; Shideh Dashti; Abbie Liel; Keith Porter In this paper probabilistic models are developed for estimating the peak excess pore pressure ratio ( r u ) and peak shear strain ( γ max ), which control liquefaction triggering, in layered granular soils under earthquake...
