This paper presents the results of experimental studies on deformation and strength anisotropy gravel-pebble soils used in soil dams. During stabilometric tests, varying shear angles were obtained for stone at different orientations particles working chamber, whether horizontal or vertical. As hydrostatic pressure chamber increased to 0.8 MPa, a reduction by 8-12 degrees depending direction lay...

This study attempts to answer the question of distinguishing appropriate intensity measure parameter for performance-based design or assessment, taking into account the efficiency aspect. The comprehensive comparative tables proposed in this paper could be an effective support in the decision making procedure for intensity measure selection, comprising most of the frequently utilized intensity ...
