<p>During liquefaction, a shear-induced dilatancy mechanism may be one of the major factors that dictate soil behavior. As shear strain accumulates, this dilative tendency results in instants of excess pore pressure drop, sharp acceleration spikes, and associated ...

<p>Recent records of seismic site response have documented a salient liquefaction-induced cyclic shear-deformation mechanism. During liquefaction, these ground acceleration records have suggested a possible strong influence of soil-skeleton dilation at large ...

A computational model for dynamically induced liquefaction is calibrated by centrifuge model tests. The model is a time domain code based on a nonlinear coupled solid-fluid formulation. Special attention is dedicated to the concept of cyclic mobility during ...
