Threshold seismic energy and liquefaction distance limit during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake

Experimental investigation on liquefaction and post-liquefaction deformation of stratified saturated sand under cyclic loading

“…In order to determine the liquefaction properties of soils, a number of shaking table liquefaction tests (e.g., Carey et al 2017;Jin et al 2018;Chen et al2019), cyclic triaxial tests (e.g., Pan and Yang 2018;Wang et al 2018) and numerical simulations (e.g., Ye and Wang 2016;Lei and Matthew 2018) were carried out with various forms of soil samples. Similar experimental studies, including Zhou et al (2018), Bayat & Ghalandarzadeh (2019) and Huang & Zhao (2018), considered soil samples with different components, particle distribution and loading state, etc. It is worth noting that the above studies primarily focused on homogeneous or well-mixed sands, corresponding conclusions and laws may not necessarily be applicable to stratified structures.…”
