Conference Paper Description

This paper presents a simplified method for estimating the liquefaction-induced settlements of saturated sand deposits. Based on several kinds of undrained cyclic loading tests followed by drained reconsolidation under the different boundary constraint conditions of non-zero and zero lateral strains for different sands, it has been found that there exists a good correlation between the rates of change in 'surplus void ratio' of sand (difference between initial void ratio and minimum void ratio) after both complete and incomplete liquefaction, and the maximum shear strain induced during cyclic loading. The predicted results have been compared favorably with experimental observations of shake table tests on saturated model sand deposits.
