Evaluating Liquefaction Strength of Partially Saturated Sand

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2004
A method is presented for evaluating the liquefaction strength of partially saturated sand using the compression wave velocity (P-wave velocity), a new indicator of saturation.

Static liquefaction of very loose sands

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1997
On presente les resultats d'une etude experimentale menee sur deux sables differents. Des essais triaxiaux en compression, draines et non draines, ont ete effectues sur du sable du Nevada a quatre indices de densite initiaux differents, soient 12, 22, 31 et 42%. Des essais semblables ont ete faits sur du sable d'Ottawa a un indice de densite initial de

Cyclic liquefaction of loose gassy sand

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2000
Gas can be found in many soils, but none more common than in seabed soils. Gas-charged sediments are known to be widely distributed throughout the world's oceans. Numerous research programs have studied saturated soil response to cyclic loading; however, little is known about the behavior of gassy soils subjected to cyclic loading.

Liquefaction Behavior of Sand-Gravel Composites

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1995
To quantify the effect of gravel content on the liquefaction resistance of sand-gravel composites, a series of undrained cyclic triaxial tests was performed on sand-gravel composite specimens with gravel contents of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 100%. Test results show that the liquefaction resistance of sand-gravel composites may increase significantly with ...

Liquefaction potential of reinforced silty sands

2015
In this study a series of cyclic triaxial tests were performed to examine the undrained dynamic resistance of silty sand reinforced with various arrangements of geotextile layers. The silt content of samples varies in percentage from 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50%.

Triaxial Testing Techniques and Sand Liquefaction

1978
This investigation examines effects of specimen preparation and testing techniques, that is, loading wave form, degree of saturation, and density variations, on the liquefaction behavior of Monterey No. 0 sand under cyclic loading. The test results indicate that specimen preparation greatly affects the cyclic strength.

LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL OF SABARMATI-RIVER SAND

ISET Journal of Earthquake Technology, 2011
Liquefaction of saturated sandy soils has been studied by several researchers and liquefaction potential depends on initial confining pressure, relative density, amplitude of cyclic stress etc. The Bhuj earthquake caused extensive damage in several parts of Gujarat.

Settlement in Sand Deposits Following Liquefaction

1996
Abstract When saturated sand deposits are subjected to shaking during an earthquake, pore water pressure is known to build up leading to liquefaction or loss of strength. The pore water pressure then starts to dissipate mainly towards the ground surface, accompanied by some volume change of the sand deposits which is manifested on the ...

LIQUEFACTION RESISTANCE OF OIL SAND TAILINGS

Mine tailings can be particularly prone to cyclic liquefaction because of their angular particle shapes, high saturation, and loose deposition. This has resulted in the liquefaction failure of several mine tailings dams in highly seismic regions around the world.
