In this paper the corresponding physical phenomena of liquefaction are briefly described. Among them are: compressibility of soil skeleton, dilation, contraction, elastic versus plastic deformation, interaction between pore water and soil skeleton, compressibility ...

In this paper the conventional approach to pipeline stability design is reviewed and compared with experiments. A failure mechanism of pipelines on liquefied seabeds is analyzed. An analytical model to predict the pipelines sinking depth is proposed, and the ...
