Liquefaction Susceptibility and Cyclic Resistance of Transitional Silts with Application to Subduction Zone Earthquakes
Armin W. Stuedlein, Ph.D., P.E., F.ASCE
Oregon State University
The cyclic resistance and potential for cyclic failure of low plasticity transitional silt soils are often challenging to assess using available liquefaction case history- and in-situ penetration test-based methods. This lecture will provide an overview of findings regarding the cyclic behavior of transitional nonplastic and plastic silt soils and corresponding models developed. Liquefaction susceptibility criteria and a means for reliably quantifying liquefaction susceptibility are discussed. Typical hysteretic responses...
