Large-scale physical modelling of static liquefaction in gentle submarine slopes

Planning a monitoring campaign for a natural submarine slope prone to static liquefaction is a challenging task due to the sudden nature of flow slides. Therefore, gaining a better insight by monitoring the changes in pore pressure and acceleration of the soil mass, prior to and at the onset of static liquefaction, of submerged model slopes...

Preliminary results of instrumented laboratory flow slides

The liquefaction tank is an experimental facility developed to conduct physical scale model tests of liquefaction flow slides. We developed the liquefaction tank to evaluate the performance of advanced numerical models for submerged slopes composed of sand. For the long-term, the research with the liquefaction tank aims at composing a database...
