Explorations of Liquefaction Problems of Satnrated Sands

Based upon experiments and analyses, a quantitative relationship between the skeleton dilatant-consolidatory potentials and the pore pressures of saturated sands during the process of liquefaction has been obtained. Rules governing the variations of the skeleton volumes of isotropic and anisotropic consolidated sands during the process of liquefaction have been suggested. Some opinions relevant to liquefaction of sands have been offered.
