Funded Activity Summary

Liquefaction failures of intermediate soils. The aims of the project are to provide new data on the conditions under which liquefaction failures can occur in soil materials that are intermediate between sand and clay, and to develop models to describe this behaviour. This project addresses two significant problems: liquefaction failures which occur in silty sediments on continental slopes and produce tsunamis, and liquefaction in unsaturated ship cargos with intermediate gradings which lead to ship losses. The outcomes of the project are expected to be greater understanding of the factors controlling liquefaction in silty materials, a better understanding of the risk of submarine landslides, and models which can be used to predict the conditions under which liquefaction can occur in ship cargos.
