Effect of Pavement Thickness and Width on Liquefaction-Induced Settlements and the Contribution of Sand Ejecta in Total Settlement

Abstract This paper investigates the settlement in a pavement due to soil liquefaction. Four 1-g shaking table tests were performed on saturated sand bed-pavement model understand factors affecting liquefaction-induced settlements and their relation thickness width. All with base acceleration of 320 gal laminar box. The revealed that total reduced increase thickness. same but different width showed co-seismic post-seismic depend upon pavement, maximum contribution ejecta is around 7.7% settlement.
