“…Seed [37] back-analyzed a number of embankments in which signi®cant displacements had occurred during earthquakes as a result of liquefaction. He published a chart linking the residual strength to the (N 1 ) 60-cs , the normalized penetration resistance for clean sands.…”

Major developments in geotechnical earthquake engineering practice over the last 15 years are reviewed. The objectives of the review are to present a coherent view of the current state of practice at the highest level and to examine trends, which may shape practice in the future. Developments are described in the following areas: speci®cation of design ground motions, dynamic response analysis, evaluation of liquefaction potential, evaluation of residual strength of lique®ed soil, post-liquefaction displacement analysis, and seismic risk analysis. q

“…Seed (1987) [35] developed a correlation between SPT resistance and the apparent shear strength back-calculated from observed flow failures and lateral spreads. Also Seed (1987) [35] back analyzed some 12 case studies of flow sliding (or large deformation) and developed a correlation of residual undrained strength to the equivalent clean sand SPT blow count, (N1) 60-CS .…”

“…Also Seed (1987) [35] back analyzed some 12 case studies of flow sliding (or large deformation) and developed a correlation of residual undrained strength to the equivalent clean sand SPT blow count, (N1) 60-CS . The liquefied shear strength Su(LIQ), is the shear strength mobilized at large deformation after liquefaction and also, the yield shear strength Su(yield) is the peak undrained loading of a saturated, contractive soil.…”

An experimental study is carried out to investigate the static liquefaction of sand. For this purpose, Babolsar sand with its liquefiable parameters such as soil properties and high seismic level of underground water are investigated using static compression drained and un-drained tri-axial tests under isotropically and anisotropically conditions. Also, the data results of this sand are compared with those of the previous studies on soil case history. The study results indicate that Babolsar sand can experience the whole possible states of liquefaction soil, i.e. flow failure, limited and dilation behavior.

“…The pioneering work of back-analysis of liquefaction flow slides to estimate the S r was first carried out by Seed (1987). Since then, several researchers have modified the method (e.g., Seed and Harder 1990, Stark and Mesri 1992, Olsen and Stark 2002.…”
