Full-Scale Shake Table Cyclic Simple Shear Testing of Liquefiable Soil
… previously observed, or in tabletop laboratory testing. The study detailed herein is a controlled laboratory test performed at full scale to allow for the measurement of field-scale index testing before and after cyclic loading. Testing was performed at the Parson’s geotechnical and Earthquake …

Experimentally validated DEM modelling of granular materials under simple shear testing
Simple shear testing’s ability in simulating realistic in situ conditions makes it an effective element-level testing method to study the response of granular materials under uni-directional and multi-directional loading. DEM modelling provides complementary information such as contact networks and …

Measuring Liquefied Residual Strength Using Full-Scale Shake Table Cyclic Simple Shear Tests
… residual strength of #2/16 Monterey Sand. A simple shear testing apparatus was mounted to a full-scale one-dimensional shake table to mimic a confined layer of saturated sand subjected to strong ground motions. Testing was performed at the Parson’s Geotechnical and Earthquake Laboratory at …

The behaviour of clay in simple shear and triaxial tests
… applications of critical state soil mechanics to simple shear testing. The problems with the simple shear apparatus and the approach for interpreting simple shear test results are described. Laboratory tests were conducted using the NGI simple shear apparatus, standard shear box arid computer …

The effects of multi-directional loading on soil liquefaction
… first time, the influence of multi-directional shearing on soil behaviour, especially the undrained behaviour of saturated sands, remains one of the least understood areas in geotechnics. This study developed a new test database on Hostun sand with the modified multi-directional simple shear …

An investigation of liquefied shear strength using novel centrifuge tests, direct simple shear tests, and field case histories
… failures, renewed interest in the mobilized shear strength during flow liquefaction failures, usually termed the liquefied shear strength, su(liq). Statistics indicate that although the number of failures and incidents at tailings storage facilities decreased in the past 30 years or so, the …
