Liquefaction Susceptibility
From GEOtechref
A concise guide for evaluating liquefaction susceptibility.
Definitions
- liquefaction
- the temporary but essentially total loss of shear strength due to a sudden increase in pore pressure
- susceptibility
- the likelihood of liquefaction to occur based on gradation, seismic shaking, and water table
Soil Material
Is the material in question a sand, silt, clay or gravel?
