Laboratory investigation on liquefaction of sands and cemented sand mixes
Liquefaction is considered one of the most common phenomena resulting in serious damage during earthquakes. Appropriate estimation of liquefaction potential, damping characteristics and shear modulus of soil under dynamic loading is crucial for precise dynamic response analysis and soil modelling problems. The present paper emphasises the influence of relative density, confining pressure, and shear strain on the cyclic response of sand specimens. A parametric study comprising varying relative densities (35–65%), confining pressures (100–150 kPa), and shear strain (0.015–1.3%) under 1 Hz loading frequency was conducted in the laboratory. The sand samples were subjected to a series of consolidated undrained cyclic triaxial tests. It is observed that with an increase in confining pressure and relative density, the pore pressure ratio reduced; whereas an increase in pore pressure ratio was witnessed with an increase in shear strain. The influence of cement inclusion on the cyclic response of the specimens is evaluated for varying cement contents (1–4%). The addition of 4% cement considerably enhanced the strength of sand and arrested the liquefaction instigation.
