Model Prediction of Static Liquefaction: Influence of the Initial State on Potential Instabilities

This paper examines the influence of the initial state of sands on the potential for undrained instability. The main goal is to illustrate how advanced constitutive modeling of sand behavior can be used to evaluate the susceptibility for static liquefaction. The methodology is based on the concept o...
