...Minyi Zhu; Guobin Gong; Xuehuiru Ding; Stephen Wilkinson Purpose The study aims to investigate the effects of pre-loading histories (pre-shearing and pre-consolidation) on the liquefaction behaviour of saturated loose sand via discrete element method (DEM) simulations. Design/methodology...

...Yaser Jafarian; Mohammad H. Baziar; Mohammad Rezania; Akbar A. Javadi Purpose In this paper, the peak kinetic energy density (KED) of soil particles during earthquake excitation is used as an intensity measure for the evaluation of liquefaction potential under field conditions. The paper seeks...

Finite element analysis of two-phase instability for saturated porous hypoelastic solids under plane strain loadings J.P. Bardet University...

...Félix Darve Liquefaction phenomenon and its catastrophic nature can be analysed as a particular material behaviour of granular media under certain loading paths. Proposes a definition of liquefaction and its modelling by constitutive relations. Discusses this modelling in relation to the questions...
