Flow of Liquefied Sandy Soil

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Practical Soil Dynamics

Part of the book series: Geotechnical, Geological, and Earthquake Engineering ((GGEE,volume 20))

Abstract

Flows caused by liquefaction of sandy slopes and the effects on adjacent structures are among the most significant hazards caused by earthquakes. EN 1998-5 (2004) (and other publications world wide) specifies procedure for determination of liquefaction potential of sandy soil with horizontal or gently inclined surface using an empirical method but not for ground slopes during earthquakes.
