Liquefaction and flow failure during earthquakes

Abstract: Two aspects of seismically-induced liquefaction are discussed which are of vital engineering significance: the triggering condition and the consequences of liquefaction. The triggering condition is examined with respect to liquefaction analysis, note being taken of the onset condition which is governed by cyclic strength. Consequences of liquefaction are discussed with respect to post-seismic stability analysis, in which the residual strength plays a major role. Procedures used for liquefaction analysis based … Show more

“…Particles separation strongly affects the capillary force exerted by menisci and its humiditydependence [89,90] and, because the liquid fills the gaps, the intergrain friction or lubrication [130,131]. The equilibrium distance also defines the packing and porosity, which are key variables in complex transition phenomena in granular media like jamming and shear banding [42,132] and liquefaction [133], important in phenomena like landslides [134]. It can also lead to better understanding of swelling behavior of clays [27] and cellulose [38].…”

“…A number of formulations have been reported in literature to express the shear modulus as a function of void ratio and confining pressure [2,9,10,14]. In here, for the case of undrained torsional shear loadings, the following formulation is proposed for G 0 :…”

“…During the last four decades and especially after the two 1964 earthquakes that occurred in Alaska (Good Friday, M w = 9.2) and Japan (Niigata, M w = 7.5), special attention was devoted to the experimental and theoretical study of the liquefaction phenomena onland. Work on sediment liquefaction was described in detail in numerous state-of-the-art papers, such as those by Yoshimi et al (1977), Seed (1979), Finn (1981), Ishihara (1993) and Robertson and Fear (1995). Liquefaction is defined as a transformation of a granular sediment from a solid to a liquefied state as a consequence of increased pore pressure and reduced effective stress (Marcuson III 1978;Youd et al 2001).…”
