Evaluation of dynamic response of soils subjected to regular and irregular excitations using cyclic triaxial tests

Abstract

Most of the damages during the seismic incidences are greatly influenced by the response of soils which is governed by the dynamic properties of the soils and the pore pressure variations Assam India located in the North eastern region of India is one of the most seismically active regions in the world has experienced several devastating earthquakes of different magnitudes in the past In view of the above the present study is focused to investigate the dynamic behaviour of cohesionless
