Dynamic Behavior of Slickensided Surfaces (NEES-2005-0027)

<p><strong>Title</strong>: Dynamic Behavior of Slickensided Surfaces (NEES-2005-0027)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2011</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>This project consists of a series of centrifuge tests that were performed using the UC Davis geotechnical centrifuge. The purpose of these tests was to measure the amount of displacement that occurs during earthquake shaking along a preformed slickensided clay surface. The recorded data can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of Newmark's method for predicting earthquake-induced displacements in clays.
