Effect of Displacement Method on Sand Bed Liquefaction under Oscillating Water Pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
In this paper the liquefaction of sand bed under oscillating water pressure are treated as a basic study of the prevention works against the scouring around the hydraulic structures.

The importance of accurate time-integration in the numerical modelling of P-wave propagation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The numerical dissipation characteristics of the Newmark and generalised-α time-integration schemes are investigated for P-wave propagation in a fully saturated level-ground sand deposit, where higher frequencies than those for S-waves are of concern ...

Calculating the state parameter in crushable sands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The state parameter (y) measures the distance from the current state to the critical state line (CSL) in the compression plane. The existence of a correlation between both the peak angle of shearing resistance ( # $ ) and peak dilatancy and y is central ...

Experimental study on the cyclic resistance of a natural loess from Northern France [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In order to analyze the instability phenomenon observed along the Northern High Speed Line of R\'eseau Ferr\'e de France (RFF), soil blocks were taken at a site near the railway, at four different depths (1.2, 2.2, 3.5 and 4.9 m).

A new slurry-based method of preparation of specimens of sand containing fines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A new method of specimen reconstitution is presented that is appropriate for element testing of sands containing either plastic or nonplastic fines. The method allows reconstitution of homogeneous, saturated specimens of sands containing fines whose ...

Processes of MISS-formation in a modern siliciclastic tidal flat, Patagonia (Argentina) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The study focus on the description of several MISS as erosional pockets and remnants, flipped-over edges, and large microbial deformation structures as roll-ups, folds and gas domes, in the context of sediment composition, hydraulics, and geomorphology ...

Evaluation of Liquefaction Resistance by In-situ Testing and Its Application to Reliability Design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
A calculation method of probability of liquefaction is proposed in this paper. The spatial variability of soil parameters for the dynamic shear strength, i.e., N-values, median grain size, fines contents, and the statistical characteristics of the ...

A Microscopic Definition of Liquefaction for Sand

open access: yesProcedia Earth and Planetary Science, 2012
AbstractTraditional theoretical and experimental investigations of the mechanical behavior of granular media such as sand are restricted by the limited quantitative information about what actually happens internally. The discrete element method (DEM) was developed as a technique to examine the micromechanics of granular media for this purpose.
