Liquefaction study of heterogeneous sand: Centrifuge

, 2010
From past numerical research and small scale laboratory tests, it has been observed that more excess pore water pressure (EPWP) is generated during earthquakes in a heterogeneous sand deposit than in the corresponding homogeneous sand with relative ...

Soil Liquefaction in Padang due to Padang Earthquake 30September 2009

Civil Engineering Dimension, 2012
The Padang earthquake of M7.6 on 30 September 2009 (30S’09) caused damage to buildings, houses, public water facilities, and road ways. Several buildings were damaged due to liquefaction. This paper describes the liquefaction potential in Padang based on

A Method to Estimate Dynamic Pore Water Pressure Growth of Saturated Sand-Gravel Materials

Applied Sciences
The liquefaction of saturated sand-gravel material samples from the Xinjiang valley were investigated under cyclic loading. A series of large-scale dynamic triaxial tests were used to determine the dynamic characteristics of the sand-gravel sample under ...

Liquefaction-Induced Settlements in Sand Deposits

, 1995
This paper presents a simplified method for estimating the liquefaction-induced settlements of saturated sand deposits. Based on several kinds of undrained cyclic loading tests followed by drained reconsolidation under the different boundary constraint ...

Liquefaction Potential of Unsaturated Nevada Sand Considering Different Intial Conditions

, 2012
It has been tacitly assumed that liquefaction does not occur in unsaturated soils during seismic events, because pore air behaves as a cushion and excess pore water pressure is difficult to accumulate.

Liquefaction Behavior of Silt Sand Mixtures and Post Liquefaction Volumetric Strain Properties

, 2016
In this study, the liquefaction behavior silty sand mixtures and volumetric deformation properties were investigated. The study was implemented on samples of silt sand mixtures obtained during an excavation at Bayrakh, Izmir, Turkey.

Large scale sand liquefaction flow slide tests revisited

, 2012
Massive failure of submerged slopes form a major threat for many dikes along estuaries in the Netherlands, the subsoil of which consists of alternating layers of loosely packed and more densely packed sand.

Liquefaction behavior and post-liquefaction volumetric strain properties of low plasticity silt sand mixtures

, 2016
In this paper, the liquefaction behavior of silt-sand mixtures and post-liquefaction volumetric deformation properties were investigated. The study was performed on silt sand mixtures which were obtained during a foundation excavation in Bayrakh region ...
