  • Evaluation of ocean wave-induced liquefaction in a large scale wave flume

    Creator:
    Thielen, David Leo
    Abstract:
    Ocean waves propagating over cohesionless seabed deposits produce cyclic shear stresses within the deposit. Under certain conditions these stresses may cause a progressive build-up of pore pressure. Pore pressure accumulation can result in liquefaction or a substantial decrease in the effective stress with attendant large deformations of the seabed deposit....

  • Dynamic behavior of silty soils

    Creator:
    Sunitsakul, Jutha
    Abstract:
    The cyclic resistance of predominantly fine-grained soils has received considerable attention following ground and foundation failures at sites underlain by silt-rich soils during recent earthquakes. In several cases substantial ground deformation and reduced bearing capacity of silt soils has been attributed to excess pore pressure generation during cyclic loading. These...
