The coupled mechanics of fluid-filled granular media controls the physics of many Earth systems such as saturated soils, fault gouge, and landslide shear zones. It is well established that when the pore fluid pressure rises, the shear resistance of fluid-filled granular systems decreases, and as a result catastrophic events such as soil liquefaction, earthquakes, and accelerating landslides may...

Bengkulu City has a high liquefaction rate, both geologically and geophysically. This is because consists of rocks in the form sand, silt, mud, clay, coral fragments gravel alluvial areas (Qa) floodplains. Terrace formation (Qat). study aims to analyze potential using seismic waves City, resulting layer profile (Vs) obtained from Vs30 soil classification with potential. was conducted PASI 16S-2...

Creosoteand chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood waste and untreated southern pine wood were liquefied with phenol and sulfuric acid. The effects of sulfuric acid content, liquefaction time, liquefaction temperature, and phenol to wood ratio on liquefaction rate (i.e., wood residue content) were investigated and analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that both creo...

Liquefaction susceptibility of river channel deposit in Kolkata city is studied using laboratory cyclic triaxial tests. River deposit, which supports a large part rapidly growing urbanization city, mainly consists sandy soil with little amount silt. Cyclic tests have been performed on this sample varying relative density, confining pressure, and strain amplitude. Results are presented to show h...

One of the most important reasons for damages during earthquakes is the liquefaction of loose and saturated sand soils. However, in many regions with proper soil specifications, the large settlements have been observed in the ground surface. Loose sand layers buried in fine soils are one of the cases which may result in these problems and as a weak point during earthquake can cause this phenome...
