Vulnerability of Industrial Components to Soil Liquefaction
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014 Dynamic liquefaction of saturate loose sand deposit is a common geotechnical failure effect caused by an earthquake, which can lead to structural damage of buildings, lifelines and industrial components in general. Several damage cases have been observed in past events and have been documented in the technical literature and post-earthquake ...

Assessment of liquefaction potential index for Mumbai city [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 Mumbai city is the financial capital of India and is fifth most densely populated city in the world. Seismic soil liquefaction is evaluated for Mumbai city in terms of the factors of safety against liquefaction (FS) along the depths of soil profiles for ...

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 ...

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.

Implementation of Finite Element Method for Prediction of Soil Liquefaction Around Undergroud Structure [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2013 Liquefaction is the rapid loss of shear strength in cohesionless soils subjected to dynamic loading, that it is a state of saturated cohesionless soil when its entire shear strength is reduced to zero due to pore water pressure caused by vibration ...

Resistance of Soil to Liquefaction and Settlement
Soils and Foundations, 1971 This paper presents a quantitative method of organizing field observations concerning liquefaction and non-liquefaction during actual earthquakes. The ratio τc/σ^-V is evaluated for 13 sites affected by 8 earthquakes and plotted against relative density (τc is the average peak dynamic stress during the earthquake, and σ^-V is the vertical effective ...

A liquefaction surface to describe liquefaction phenomena in unsaturated sandy soils
Proc. of the 7th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechncial Engineering, 2019 The energetic interpretation of liquefaction tests indicates that the behavior of unsaturated sands can be related to the specific energy spent to liquefaction In this paper, an insight is proposed on the role played by the two components of such a specific energy: the specific volumetric energy to liquefaction (Ev,liq) and the specific deviatoric ...
