Dynamic Soil Properties
ee ee erCyclic Stress Ratio (CSR)
> Seismic demand on a soil layer
Equation formulated by Seed and Idriss (1971)
@max = peak horizontal acceleration at the ground
surface generated by the earthquake
= acceleration due to gravity
yo = total vertical overburden stress
oly = effective vertical overburden stress
rg = stress reduction co-efficient (flexibility of the
soil)
