Semiempirical probabilistic models are described to assess cyclic large strain and induced excess pore-water pressure responses of fully saturated clean sands. For this purpose, available cyclic simple shear and triaxial tests were compiled and studied. The resulting r(u) versus gamma, and gamma versus N databases are composed of 101 and 84 cyclic test data, respectively. Key parameters of the proposed r(u) and gamma models are defined as critical shear strain, relative density, effective confining stress, and equivalent number of loading cycles. Consistent with the maximum likelihood methodology, model coefficients were estimated by maximizing the likelihood function. For comparison purposes, the compiled database was again used to evaluate the performance of existing r(u) models. Both for comparison and calibration purposes, for each framework, two separate sets of limit-state models were used: model implemented with (1) the original and (2) the updated model coefficients. The model performances are assessed by simple statistics (i.e., mean and standard deviation) of residuals. It is concluded that existing models produce inconsistently biased predictions that vary in the range of 2.5 to 70%. The successes of the proposed and existing models are also assessed for the validation database composed of additional 10 cyclic test results. In addition to (1) repeated improved predictions, (2) differentiating contractive or dilative cyclic soil responses, and (3) incorporation of strain-dependent modulus degradation effects, the main advantage of the proposed methodology is the probabilistic nature of model predictions, which enables the incorporation of the model uncertainty into pore pressure generation predictions.

CPT-Based Probabilistic Soil Characterization and Classification
Çetin, Kemal Önder (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-01-01)
Due to lack of soil sampling during conventional cone penetration testing, it is necessary to characterize and classify soils based on tip and sleeve friction values as well as pore pressure induced during and after penetration. Currently available semiempirical methods exhibit a significant variability in the estimation of soil type. Within the confines of this paper it is attempted to present a new probabilistic cone penetration test (CPT)-based soil characterization and classification methodology, which ...
CPT-based probabilistic and deterministic assessment of in situ seismic soil liquefaction potential
Moss, R. E. S.; Seed, R. B.; Kayen, R. E.; Stewart, J. P.; Kiureghian, A. Der; Çetin, Kemal Önder (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2006-08-01)
This paper presents a complete methodology for both probabilistic and deterministic assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering potential based on the cone penetration test (CPT). A comprehensive worldwide set of CPT-based liquefaction field case histories were compiled and back analyzed, and the data then used to develop probabilistic triggering correlations. Issues investigated in this study include improved normalization of CPT resistance measurements for the influence of effective overburden stre...
Elastic and Inelastic Near-Fault Input Energy Spectra
Alici, F. Soner; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (SAGE Publications, 2018-05-01)
The main purpose of this study is to develop a reliable model for predicting the input energy spectra of near-fault ground motions for linear elastic and inelastic systems, and to evaluate the effect of damping and lateral strength on energy dissipation demands. An attenuation model has been developed through one-stage nonlinear regression analysis. Comparative results revealed that near-fault ground motions have significantly larger energy dissipation demands, which are very sensitive to earthquake magnitu...
Probabilistic Models for Cyclic Straining of Saturated Clean Sands
Çetin, Kemal Önder; Wu, Jiaer; Kammerer, Annie M.; Seed, Raymond B. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-03-01)
A maximum likelihood framework for the probabilistic assessment of postcyclic straining of saturated clean sands is described. Databases consisting of cyclic laboratory test results including maximum shear and postcyclic volumetric strains in conjunction with relative density, number of stress (strain) cycles, and "index" test results were used for the development of probabilistically based postcyclic strain correlations. For this purpose, in addition to the compilation of existing data from literature, a s...
Analysis of factors affecting strain distribution in geosynthetics
Kutay, ME; Güler, Murat; Aydilek, AH (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2006-01-01)
Localized strains due to production defects, seams, and punctured zones significantly affect mechanical performance of geosynthetic materials. Accurate determination of localized strains becomes particularly important for quality control/quality assurance evaluation of these materials and may play a critical role in design problems. A battery of tensile tests was conducted on 12 different geosynthetics to assess the effects of seam type, puncture, and clamping techniques on strain distributions. Digital ima...
