Fluidization system for liquefaction tank

For the experimental investigation of the static liquefaction of a slope of water-saturated fine sand first a uniform submerged sand layer is composed in a large liquefaction tank by applying fluidisation by upward flowing pore water from the bottom of the tank. Subsequently a submerged slope is created by applying hydraulic suction-dredging....

Implementation and evaluation of a binary mixture model and Fe-analysis on water saturated soil

A binary mixture model for soils has been formulated and analyzed. In the model one of the constituents is soil and the other constituent an incompressible liquid. The effects of water are included by formulating a mixture model is formulated as an extension of an existing non-associated elasto-plastic material model for granular materials. This...
