Abstract

Seed and his coworkers at the University of California at Berkeley, as well as others, have reported that the potential for liquefaction of a cohesionless soil is related to the intensity of dynamic loadings, the in-situ stresses, the grain size characteristics of the soil, the shear strength, and the in-place density (18).
