Flow Potential of Sand During Liquefaction

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 1998
In order to quantify the tendency to flow characteristics of sandy soils, the maximum value of excess pore water pressure ratio developed during undrained monotonic loading test was taken as an index property and defined as flow potential. Triaxial compression tests, triaxial extension tests and simple shear tests on Toyoura sand were conducted by ...

Compaction and Liquefaction of a Sandy Layer: Simulation of Shaking Table Experiments

open access: yesArchives of Civil Engineering, 2013
This paper presents numerical simulations of the behavior of a sandy layer subjected to a cyclic horizontal acceleration in shaking table tests, with a particular attention focused on the settlements of a dry sand layer, and on the liquefaction of ...

Triaxial compression tests on a crushable sand in dry and wet conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A calcareous sand from the Persian Gulf is subjected to a series of dry and fully drained saturated triaxial shear tests. The samples are prepared at relative densities of 65% and either left dry or saturated. They are consolidated to confining pressures

Constitutive model for thixotropic fluid considering phase characteristics of liquefaction of saturated sand

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
Reasonable evaluation of the property evolution of saturated sand during liquefaction and the dynamic response under cyclic loading is the key to solve the problem of large deformation of liquefied sand.

Experimental study on dynamic characteristics of calcareous sand-gravel mixtures from islands in the South China Sea

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
In the construction process of reef islands in the South China Sea, the upper reclamation foundation materials exist in the form of a combination of large calcareous gravels and small calcareous sand mixed in random proportions.

Simulation of the Potential Liquification of Puger Sand Soil on a Small Scale in the Laboratory

open access: yesRekayasa Sipil
Puger is a nearshore area in the Jember district. On the Indonesian liquefaction zone atlas map, Puger is a high liquefaction zone. Liquefaction can occur when water-saturated soil loses its strength and behaves like a liquid due to seismic vibrations ...

Preconditioning and triggering of offshore slope failures and turbidity currents revealed by most detailed monitoring yet at a fjord-head delta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rivers and turbidity currents are the two most important sediment transport processes by volume on Earth. Various hypotheses have been proposed for triggering of turbidity currents offshore from river mouths, including direct plunging of river discharge,

A Simple One-Scale Constitutive Model for Static Liquefaction of Sand-Silt Mixtures

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Solids and Structures
Instability of liquefaction is one of the major reasons which results in the failure of earth structure such as dam. The present study focuses on the simulation of static liquefaction behavior for granular materials such as sand and sand-silt mixtures ...
