Recent Advances in Soil Liquefaction Engineering: A Unified and Consistent Framework (original) (raw)
2003
Over the past decade, major advances have occurred in both understanding and practice with regard to assessment and mitigation of hazard associated with seismically induced soil liquefaction. Soil liquefaction engineering has evolved into a sub-field in its own right, and engineering assessment and mitigation of seismic soil liquefaction hazard is increasingly well addressed in both research and practice. This rapid evolution in the treatment of liquefaction has been pushed largely by a confluence of lessons and data provided by a series of major earthquakes over the past dozen years, as well as by the research and professional/political will engendered by these major seismic events. The overall field of soil liquefaction engineering is now beginning to coalesce into an internally consistent and comprehensive framework, and one in which the various elements are increasingly mutually supportive of each other. Although the rate of progress has been laudable, further advances are occur...

Liquefaction of Soil and Recent Used Methods of Mitigation
2021
In the history, liquefaction has been a cause of damage, scholars have spent the last 3 decades trying to figure out what criteria should be used to help describe a soil deposit's liquefaction potential. Liquefaction is a soil mechanics issue that frequently impacts structures that are upheld on soaking sand stores. In several seismic events, liquefaction caused significant damage to pipelines, homes, bridges, and other vital infrastructure. A devastation caused by soil liquefaction were forcibly bring into the interest of engineers by catastrophic 1964 earthquake in Niigata, Japan. This paper presents an overall depiction of liquefaction and Recent utilized Methods of Mitigation. This review paper covers all basic knowledge and view of liquefaction. also, this review paper discusses the evaluation method test In-situ testing particularly CPT and SPT test.
EVALUATION OF LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL OF SOILS -A REVIEW
Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research, 2018
Liquefaction of soil during earthquakes results in catastrophic damages to life and property. The deformations of soil during earthquakes pose a serious risk to the stability of structures. Niigata earthquake in Japan and the Bhuj earthquake in India incurred large scale damage to the buildings and dams. It is essential to evaluate the resistance of soils to liquefaction. This paper deals with understanding the process of liquefaction and estimating the liquefaction potential of soils by various laboratory tests and empirical approaches. The undrained behaviour of soils in cyclic shearing is explained with the help of cyclic triaxial testing and cyclic direct simple shear test. The results of the cyclic direct simple shear test conducted on loose Fraser river sand in Vancouver, Canada are discussed in this paper. The empirical approach developed in 1996 NCEER and 1998 NCEER/NSF workshops to determine the liquefaction potential of soils is presented. This empirical approach is a simplified procedure based on field tests which can be used in practice to evaluate the liquefaction potential of soils.
