Numerous constitutive laws have been proposed for the numerical analysis of dynamic induced liquefaction of soil materials ... and thus were made before the relevant experiments were performed. The ...

Introduce the term "soil saturation," which refers ... structures can suddenly sink or shift due to liquefaction, just as the sinker in the above experiment. Buried material or lighter objects ...

The proposed procedure is applied to assess the soil liquefaction potential, which is found to be considerably affected by the inherent spatial variability of soil properties. Parametric studies, ...
