Dynamic Response of a Model Levee on Sherman Island Peat: A Curated Data Set
A model levee resting atop soft compressible peaty organic soil in the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta was shaken by forced vibration to study the seismic deformation potential of the underlying peat and measure dynamic levee–peat interaction. Forced vibration testing occurred over a frequency range of...
