Liquefaction of Granular Soils at the Microscale

IFCEE 2015, 2015
In this study, we introduce results of a novel coupled pore-scale model of pore-fluid interacting with discrete particles for soil liquefaction. A mircoscale idealization of the solid phase is achieved using the discrete element method (DEM) while the fluid phase is modeled at a mesoscale using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM).

Liquefaction Mechanism for Layered Soils

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1994
Results from four centrifuge model tests are presented. Three of the model tests involve layered soil deposits subject to base shaking; one model test involves a uniform soil deposit of sand subject to base shaking. The layered soil models consisted of fine sand overlain by a layer of relatively impermeable silica flour (silt).

Soil Liquefaction and Countermeasures

2014
The mechanism of soil liquefaction caused by earthquake ground motion and the soil conditions for the occurrence of liquefaction is explained. Liquefaction-induced damages to structures during past earthquakes, such as subsidence and inclination of buildings and bridges, uplift of underground structures, collapse of quaywalls and embankment are ...

Computer Simulation of Soil Liquefaction

GeoCongress 2006, 2006
Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon that develops in loose saturated sand deposits during earthquakes (or other disturbances) that can cause great damage. In an effort to raise awareness of such a hazard, a computer simulation model of soil liquefaction was developed using STELLA (a computer program for model building and simulation).

Liquefaction and Drainage in Stratified Soil

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2005
Remediation schemes for the treatment of liquefiable ground, such as vertical drains, have evolved over the last 30 years largely as a result of consideration of uniform sand beds. However, many liquefiable sites also contain thin layers of silts and clays which will act as an obstacle to fluid dissipating from liquefying sands, such that the ...

Physics and Mechanics of Soil Liquefaction

2018
The workshop aims to provide a fundamental understanding of the liquefaction process, necessary to the enhancement of liquefaction prediction. The contributions are divided into eight sections, which include: factors affecting liquefaction susceptibility and field studies of liquefaction.
