Abstract
Newly emerged fields of unsaturated soil mechanics that are addressed more recently and have challenged the classical concepts of saturated soil mechanics, reveals that description of three phase media needs new and more parameters than two phase saturated soil mechanics. This has made it more complex. In the current research, seismic response of three unsaturated soil deposits are studied by considering effects of matric suction as a state parameter on shear modulus as well as damping ratio and shear modulus degradation using frequency domain analyses with DEEPSOIL software. The results are presented in terms of amplification function and spectral acceleration-displacement to investigate the effects of matric suction on seismic response of unsaturated soil deposits.
