ON PREVENTING LIQUEFACTION OF LEVEL GROUND USING GRAVEL PILES

Laboratory Studies on the Effect of Vertical Gravel Column Drains on Liquefaction Potential

Abstract: In recent years deadly earthquakes in seismic areas have caused special concerns regarding liquefaction phenomenon by researchers and specialists. Excess pore water pressure in loose sediments may cause phenomena such as boiling, shearing strength and dynamic stiffness reduction and lateral movements cause difficulties. Many remedial methods such as soil replacement with proper materi...

Chapter 2 Literature Review on Liquefaction and Ground Densification for Liquefaction Mitigation

One of the most dramatic causes of damage of structures during earthquakes has been the development of liquefaction in saturated cohesionless deposits. These deposits have tendency to densify when subjected to earthquake loading. However, when saturated, the tendency to densify causes the excess pore water pressure to increase. This, in turn, results in the effective stress of soil to decrease....

Analysis of Ground Motion Parameters and Ground Liquefaction Prediction Using Gis for Kunming Basin, China

In this paper the geological structure and earthquake activity nearby Kunming Basin, Yunnan, China, have been studied. Different ground motion attenuation models used in Japan and in Yunnan, China, have been reviewed, and quantitative comparisons between the models have been made. The zonation of peak horizontal acceleration corresponding to a seldom happened earthquake and the zonation of the ...
