Pore Pressure Response and Ground Displacements in Chicago Clay During Tunneling and Over Long Term
… dissipation rate of excavation-related excess pore pressure and thereby the rate of consolidation and (b) decreased both rate and magnitude of consolidation due to drainage into the tunnel.

Seismic site response analysis and extraction of dynamic soil behavior and pore pressure response from downhole array measurements
Seismic site response analysis is commonly used to predict ground response due to local soil effects. Advancements in the knowledge of shear-induced excess pore pressure generation has led to the development and implementation of pore pressure response models for site response analysis with …

Modeling of pore pressure propagation and dissipation in compressible porous media
… phenomena associated with the propagation of pore water pressure in high plasticity clays. Specifically, it addresses the pore pressure response in areas subjected to sudden increases in pore water pressure at their top boundary. The main applications of this research would be the study of …

One-dimensional site response analyses in potentially liquefiable soil profiles
… methods. Focusing on onedimensional site response of a soil column, this thesis validated a soil constitutive model using in-situ pore pressure measurements and then assessed the influence of input ground motion characteristics on soil column response using traditional and newly developed …

Physical Modelling of Instability in Granular Soils and Tsunami Hazards Associated with Coastal Slope Failures
… to quantify the constitutive behaviour and pore pressure response of loosely placed sand leading up to and during instability. Multiple instability events were observed in the dry specimen whereas a single instability event at lower inclinations occurred for submerged samples at the same …

An experimental and analytic study of earth loads on rigid retaining walls
… made using a compaction- induced lateral earth pressure theory and a vertical shear force theory. The compaction-induced lateral earth pressure theory was revised from a previous theory. The revisions improved the accuracy with which the theory models the hysteretic stress behavior of the …

Modelling the impact of total stress changes on groundwater flow
… of a salt tailings pile. Total stress and pore-pressure data observed at the Lanigan and Rocanville potash-mine sites were used to assist the development of a generic FEMWATER model. The original 3-D mesh considered for model study covers a region of 7.6 km x 7.6 km x 60 m. The simulated …
