Abstract: The effect of extensive liquefaction on the liquefaction resistance of heavily preshaken saturated silty sand is studied using a centrifuge experiment. The base of a 6-m homogeneous deposit was subjected to a total of 91 ...

Abstract: Field observations suggest that preshaken natural sands in some seismic regions have high liquefaction resistance as a result of geologic aging and/or preshaking. This paper focuses on the young silty sand deposits located ...

Abstract: This article presents numerical simulations investigating pore pressure buildup of a sand layer with a free drainage boundary at the top under both low and high overburden pressures and subjected to earthquake base excitation. ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effect of a high effective overburden pressure [σv0′= ∼600 kPa (6 atm)] under two drainage conditions on the field liquefaction behavior of saturated Ottawa sand. A series of eight centrifuge ...

Abstract: This article is the first of two companion papers studying the effect of overburden pressure on the liquefaction behavior of saturated Ottawa sand. A series of four centrifuge tests were conducted simulating a 5-m layer ...

Abstract: The effect of preshaking and repeated liquefaction on liquefaction resistance was studied in a large-scale shaking table experiment, in which a sequence of 51 shakings was applied to the base of a 5-m uniform deposit of ...
