CampIII, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : pp. 277-287 Note générale : geotechnique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : compression  wave velocity  soil liquefaction  penetration tests  shear waves  unsaturated soils Résumé : Explicit empirical relationships for correcting liquefaction resistance of unsaturated soil below the groundwater table using compression wave velocity (VP) and shear wave velocity (VS) are derived and evaluated in this paper. The relationships are derived using published laboratory test data for four different sands and one silt material. The laboratory test data based on VP exhibit less scatter than the test data based on the ratio VP/VS. For this reason, the VP-based relationship is recommended for correcting the liquefaction resistance of unsaturated soil. The influence of loading cycles and relative density on the recommended relationship is investigated. From a review of 40 field case history sites, it is found that in the critical layers at 20% of the sites, average VP is less than 1,400 m/s, indicating unsaturated conditions. Liquefaction resistances computed for eight field case histories with VP En ligne : http://ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1061/%28ASCE%29GT.1943-5606.0000770 [article] Correcting liquefaction resistance of unsaturated soil using wave velocity [texte imprimé] / Akhter M.
