Dynamic properties of Piedmont residual soil
Article Abstract:
Comments on experimental results from a study on the dynamic characteristics of Piedmont residual soils are presented. The results were obtained based on the shear modulus G and damping ratio D. Similar experiment on Piedmont residual soils using spectral analysis of surface waves as well as the investigation of residual soil from western Puerto Rico are described. The application of plasticity index in the modeling of dynamic behavior of residual soils is proposed.

Transient infinite elements for 2D soil-structure interaction analysis
Article Abstract:
An assessment is presented on components of a two-dimensional model for soil-structure problems in semi-infinite or infinite elastic media. It is shown that transient infinite elements can be used to solve time domain linear and nonlinear transient state problems.

Statistical to fuzzy approach toward CPT soil classification
Article Abstract:
The authors present a new method for soil classification. This method allows researchers to classify soils and rocks for specific information needed by geotechnical engineers. Use of the cone penetration test (CPT) is also described.
