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....

Liquefaction has occurred during most earthquakes, Niigata 1964, Tangshan 1976, Loma Prieta 1985, Kobe 1995, Chi-Chi Taiwan 1999, Turkey 1999, Haiti 2010, Mexicali 2010 and others. The performance of structures during the Niigata earthquake (1964) in Japan and the nature of damage suffered by them clearly brought out the fact that soil and soil foundation interaction play a significant role in ...

Deformation of quay walls is one of the main sources of damage to port facility while liquefaction of backfill and base soil of the wall are the main reasons for failures of quay walls. During earthquakes, the most susceptible materials for liquefaction in seashore regions are loose saturated sand. In this study, effects of enhancing the wall width and the soil improvement on the behavior of gr...

mas·hyy saturated soil liquefaction during earthquakes, shnakhthshdhyy phenomenon that many researchers in the past three decades has attracted. more research on the liquefaction of saturated soils has focused mas·hyy the natural soils are rarely composed of clean sands, and mixed with clay or silt soils, which is why the study has important ghyrkhmyry and paste. despite numerous studies on the...

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...

Soil liquefaction is a major cause of seismic damage in cohessionless soil during earthquakes. From past numerical and experimental research it has been observed that more excess pore water pressure (EPWP) is generated during earthquakes in a heterogeneous soil deposit than in the corresponding homogeneous soil with relative density equal to the average relative density of the heterogeneous soi...

Soil liquefaction is the phenomenon of temporary loss of shear of saturated cohesionless soil under the influence of vibrations caused by earthquakes. The extensive loss of lives and civil infrastructure system like buildings, bridges, highways etc. caused by liquefaction emphasize the need for strong and reliable methods for evaluating the liquefaction potential of sites. Simplified techniques...

earthquakes could have catastrophic impacts on tunnels and buried structures. liquefaction phenomenon is one of the most destructive effects of earthquakes. liquefaction results in decreasing effective stress and this consequently leads to decreases in shear strength of the soil. as a result, large deformation in both soil and buried structure occurs. moreover, liquefaction causes soil boiling,...
