Liquefaction perspective of soil ageing [PDF]
Géotechnique, 2017 Subsoil liquefaction during strong earthquakes is one of the major seismic threats to the human community. Over the past few decades various methodologies have been proposed to assess liquefaction vulnerability; however, recent seismic events in Japan have revealed that current assessment methods are over conservative, which results in unnecessarily ...

Return Period of Soil Liquefaction [PDF]
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2007 The paper describes a performance-based approach to the evaluation of liquefaction potential, and shows how it can be used to account for the entire range of potential ground shaking. The result is a direct estimate of the return period of liquefaction, rather than a factor of safety or probability of liquefaction conditional upon ground shaking with ...

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

Effect of Micropiles on Clean Sand Liquefaction Risk Based on CPT and SPT
Applied Sciences, 2020 Liquefaction is a hazardous seismic-based phenomenon, which causes an abrupt decrease in soil strength properties and can result in the massive destruction of the built environment.
