Technical Notoe: Prediction of Static Liquefaction by Nor Sand Constitutive Model

Sternik, Krzysztof

doi:10.2478/sgem-2014-0029

Abstract

The paper gives a short description of unstable behaviour of saturated sand under undrained monotonic loading. Constitutive model Nor Sand capable to describe static liquefaction is presented. The model is based on critical state soil mechanics and assumes associated flow rule. Hardening law incorporates the state parameter proposed earlier by Been and Jefferies. Results of numerical simulations of undrained element tests have been presented and discussed.
