Predicting pore pressure response in in-situ liquefaction studies using controlled blasting

Creator:

Eller, James Michael

Abstract:

Originally used as a method to densify loose soils, controlled blasting has expanded its applicability to geotechnical engineering by becoming a research tool to physically generate liquefaction for full-scale in-situ tests, ranging from seismic performance of deep foundations to evaluating ground improvement techniques. Current methods used to design the blasting...

Influence of silt size and content on static liquefaction potential of sand

Creator:

Monkul, M. Murat

Abstract:

Different specimen preparation methods such as moist tamping, dry funnel deposition, slurry deposition, dry air pluviation have been reported in the literature to investigate the undrained behavior of silty sands. Similarly, different means have been used to densify the soils prepared with such methods. However, the influence of the densification...
