Mitigation of liquefaction and associated ground deformations by stone columns

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the current state of the stone column technologies as a liquefaction countermeasure is presented in this paper, which provides insights for design and construction, compile the latest research developments, and identify sources of useful information.
Journal ArticleDOI

Desiccation theory for soft cohesive soils

TL;DR: In this article, a new desiccation theory is developed that provides a rational framework for the consolidation and desiccation analysis of soft fine-grained waste soils, which includes four consecutive segments that correspond chronologically to the phases that a soft soil layer undergoes in the field after deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclic undrained behavior of silty sand

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of fine content on the pore pressure generation in sand was investigated using laboratory cyclic triaxial tests with a cyclic shear strain range of 0·015-1·5%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Centrifuge and Large-Scale Modeling of Seismic Pore Pressures in Sands: Cyclic Strain Interpretation

TL;DR: In this paper, the pore pressure buildup in a sand deposit as a result of base shaking was evaluated by comparison with a large-scale experiment, and the results showed that the simulation results were in good agreement with the prototype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanics of Lateral Spreading Observed in a Full-Scale Shake Test

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the mechanics of lateral spreading observed in a full-scale test of a sloping saturated fine sand deposit, representative of liquefiable, young alluvial and hydraulic fill sands in the field.
