Results of a centrifuge experiment simulating seismic site response in a layered level
liquefiable soil profile are used to evaluate and systematically compare the predictive …

This paper presents a procedure to assess the vulnerability of tailings dams to failure due to
flow liquefaction. Vulnerability is understood as the inability of a system to resist adverse …

Post-peak flow instability of six sands notably different in terms of average particle shape
characteristics, gradation, and mineralogy was investigated. Tests were carried out under …

A series of monotonic and multidirectional cyclic simple shear tests were performed on
reconstituted fiber-reinforced calcareous sand specimens prepared by the dry deposition …

The cyclic-stress approach is widely used to evaluate level-ground liquefaction triggering.
Although easy to use, several limitations introduce significant uncertainty in the analysis …

Several tailings dam failures have highlighted the potential for instability under prevailing
drained conditions, which can be represented in the laboratory using constant shear drained …

Recent experimental findings highlight the impact of anisotropic consolidation on triggering
flow liquefaction failures. Results of a series of undrained tests on isotropic and anisotropic …

In practical engineering, natural soil deposits often sustain an initial driving force prior to
cyclic shear, owing to earthquakes, traffic and waves; such asymmetrical loading conditions …

While simulation of the drained true triaxial response of particulate assemblies using
discrete element method (DEM) has caught the attention of researchers in the recent years …

This article presents an experimental program under the constant volume condition to
investigate the influence of over-consolidation on flow instability of clean and silty sand …
