Expanded Byrne Model for Evaluating Seismic Compression
… However, the model can also be used to predict seismic compression in dry or partially saturated clean sands, which is the focus of this research. The original Byrne (1991) model has two primary limitations. One limitation is that calibration coefficients for the model have only been developed …

Application of Fatigue Theories to Seismic Compression Estimation and the Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential
… liquefaction of saturated soils and seismic compression of unsaturated soils are major sources of hazard to infrastructure, as attested by the wholesale condemnation of neighborhoods surrounding Christchurch, New Zealand. The hazard continues to grow as cities expand into …

Case Study: Settlement at Nepal Hydropower Dam during the 2014-2015 Gorkha Earthquake Sequence
… and was believed to have been caused by seismic compression. Seismic compression is the accrual of contractive volumetric strain in sandy soils during earthquake shaking for cases where the generated excess pore water pressures are low. The purpose of this case study is to investigate the …
