We suggest a practical method for estimating strain–modulus–damping relationships for utilization in equivalent-linear site response analyses, so that the necessity for more sophisticated sampling and testing procedures can be justified.

When a soil is subjected to a sequence of cyclic loads, both cyclic strains and residual or permanent strains develop.

This paper presents a numerical model for calculating permanent strains and stresses in sand caused by cyclic loading.

An analytical model has been developed to predict permanent stresses and strains in sands under cyclic loading for general drainage and boundary conditions.
