The strength of post-liquefaction deformation and failure patterns are closely related to the distribution of powdery layer. The work provides new research evidence on the liquefaction and failure mechanism of saturated sands with stratified structure under cyclic loading which often happen during earthquakes.
However, the cyclic simple shear test, which could convincingly represent the real seismic ground shaking under repeated horizontal shear force, has not been conducted yet. Therefore, this paper aims to characterize the behaviors of Chiang Mai sand under monotonic and cyclic loadings using a direct simple shear apparatus. The results of this study are then extended to other magnitude earthquakes using a combination of laboratory and field data. Available information on the liquefaction resistance of silty sands is also reviewed and a simple procedure for considering the influence of silt content is proposed.

Delhi, the capital of India, has experienced mild seismic shaking during several earthquakes in the past. The large variations of depth to bedrock and ground water table coupled with different soil types at different locations of Delhi necessitate a seismic microzonation study. Settlement and deformation problems in the Western Sichuan area often occur in embankments consisting of mixed soil. Soil-accumulated deformation under traffic loads could be described by establishing a dynamic constitutive model under cyclic loading. This study elaborates on an unsaturated dynamic constitutive model (MUD model) for mixed soil within the framework of the elastic–plastic
The potential for static and cyclic liquefaction of the sand that underlies the highly seismic Fraser Delta is assessed under simple shear test conditions, typical of an earthquake shaking. A comparison of liquefaction potential is also made between simple shear and conventional triaxial stress conditions.

The key findings in the previous studies on the deformation of sand are first reviewed to the necessary extent. Then, in summary form, five fundamental postulates are introduced as the bases on which a model of undrained deformation of sand under cyclic loading is to be established.

In other words, cyclic liquefaction occurs when in situ static shear stresses are small compared to intermittent shear stresses. Cyclic liquefaction requires undrained cyclic loadings so that it occurs in zero effective stress conditions. During the cyclic liquefaction, effective stress at point zero, there is no shear stress.

Technical definitions. Soil liquefaction occurs when the effective stress (shear strength) of soil is reduced to essentially zero.This may be initiated by either monotonic loading (i.e. a single, sudden occurrence of a change in stress – examples include an increase in load on an embankment or sudden loss of toe support) or cyclic loading (i.e. repeated changes in stress condition In other words, cyclic liquefaction occurs when in situ static shear stresses are small compared to intermittent shear stresses. Cyclic liquefaction requires undrained cyclic loadings so that it occurs in zero effective stress conditions. During the cyclic liquefaction, effective stress at point zero, there is no shear stress.
