Abstract

Liquefaction behaviors of sand deposits with impervious stratum are quite different from that of homogeneous geological conditions. However, the micro- liquefaction behaviors of the interlayered deposits have been infrequently documented. This study introduces a novel experimental methodology aimed at examining the influence of silt interlayer on the liquefaction mechanisms of sand deposits from both macro and micro perspectives. In the experiments, the Excess Pore Water Pressure (EPWP) was analyzed in conjunction with recorded micro liquefaction images. The migration mechanism of fine sand particles beneath the silt interlayer was revealed. The existence of low permeability interlayer leads to prolonged retention of EPWP beneath the silt interlayer. Substantially, the water film on the base of the interlayer is demonstrated to be the mixture of pore water and silt particles flowing with high velocity under seismic motions, thereby resulting in significant strain localization. An agminated zone of loose fine sand particles is usually generated beneath the silt interlayer after the dissipation of EPWP.

期刊介绍： Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics, micro-mechanics, and computational science. These modern tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations. >> Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the literature. Physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers or other fields - and vice versa. The journal Granular Matter thus serves as an interdisciplinary platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research on granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields. Notwithstanding, highly applied or technical work is beyond the scope of this journal.
