Earthquake-Induced Liquefaction of Confined Soil Zones: A Centrifuge Study
Embankments and Levee's form an important civil engineering construction and are widely used for supporting transportation lines, construction of earthen dams, dykes to protect low lying areas etc... Construction of a levee is carried out by compacting layers of soil excavated from close by borrow pits. Due to the construction methods employed in the field, it is possible for a small loose pocket to be present within a densely compacted embankment. If the water table is shallow, the embankment may be under saturated conditions. The seismic behaviour of such an embankment is the subject of the present study.
