Anisotropy in the Liquefaction Resistance of Fibre Reinforced Sand [PDF]
Materials, 2023 Adding discrete fibres to sand has been seen as a feasible technique to improve sand’s strength as well as liquefaction resistance. Considering the anisotropic distribution of fibre orientations, the anisotropy in the liquefaction resistance of the reinforced sand is also introduced using fibres.

Assessment of liquefaction resistance of soil with fines using cyclic hollow cylinder testing. [PDF]
PLoS ONESoil liquefaction is a devastating effect of earthquakes. It occurs when saturated granular soils lose their shear strength because of a sudden increase in pore water pressure under dynamic loads.

Liquefaction evaluation of dam foundation soils considering overlying structure
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2015 The liquefaction analysis procedure conducted at a dam foundation associated with a layer of liquefiable sand is presented. In this case, the effects of the overlying dam and an embedded diaphragm wall on liquefaction potential of foundation soils are ...

Liquefaction Resistance From a Ductility Viewpoint
Soils and Foundations, 2000 Very few attempts have been made to evaluate the liquefaction resistance from a ductility viewpoint. The authors propose a new method to evaluate the ductility of soils against liquefaction, based on the energy dissipation capacity obtained from stress-strain loops of the constant-strain-controlled cyclic triaxial test.
