| Abstract | The performance of near-surface geosystems during earthquake shaking depends on the free-field response of the soil layer and soil–structure interaction mechanisms. This paper presents a brief summary of the variables involved in considering the free-field response of partially saturated soil layers, and provides a step-by-step procedure to estimate the seismic settlement of a soil layer with a given initial relative density and degree of saturation. The procedure, which has been validated in a previous study using centrifuge physical model tests, was tabularized and presented in a flow chart. This methodology was followed to estimate the seismic settlement of different sand layers having different initial relative densities. It was observed that the degree of saturation has the greatest impact on loose soil layers, which also show the greatest amount of seismic settlement. However, partially saturated soil layers resulted in lower seismic settlement compared with dry or saturated soil layers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
