The presence of model and parameter uncertainties significantly affects seismic liquefaction
potential assessments and may lead to improper geotechnical design. This study develops a …

Earthquakes occurring over the past decade in the Canterbury region of New Zealand have
resulted in liquefaction case-history data of unprecedented quantity. This provides the …

Recent earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan showed that pre-shaking histories
significantly affected the reliquefaction resistance of soils. In this study, a series of …

The effect of strain history on monotonic and cyclic response of intact and reconstituted, low
and high plasticity silt deposits have been investigated through a series of constant-volume …

Centrifuge testing data are presented to elucidate the influence of particle size and
gradation on liquefaction potential and dynamic response. The physical, index, and material …

Internal erosion is the transportation of soil particles from within or beneath geotechnical
structures, caused by seepage flow, that impacts the subsequent mechanical and hydraulic …

This paper presents a study of the effects of shaking history on liquefaction and cone
penetration resistance of a clean sand by using 1-g shake table and piezo-cone penetration …

In this paper, efforts to characterize and compare the full-scale in situ three-dimensional (3D)
dynamic response of a low-plasticity silt deposit to multidirectional loading from two different …

Practical application of the state of practice field liquefaction charts at low and high
overburden is assessed with centrifuge testing. Available results of four centrifuge …

A series of centrifuge shake table tests were carried out to investigate liquefaction resistance
of sand deposits with different fines content. The effects of clayey fines on the generation …
