Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The triggering of soil liquefaction leads to diverse consequences including flow slides of earth structures. The undrained shear strength of soils is a key parameter to evaluate the stability of earth structures during earthquakes. The use of in situ sounding tests to evaluate the undrained shear strength of soils is described, including standard penetration test and cone penetration test. The recent development on the use of weight sounding test is also introduced with some recent case history data on liquefaction-induced flow slides of earth structures observed in Japan.
