Liquefaction resistance of cemented sands under multidirectional cyclic loading

This paper presents a methodology to predict liquefaction of uncemented and cemented sands under multidirectional cyclic loading conditions using solely conventional unidirectional cyclic test data. The method is found to be reasonably accurate based on the reported multidirectional cyclic test results using a true triaxial apparatus. Key words : sand, cementation, triaxial, experimental, theoretical, liquefaction.
