Probability of Local Liquefaction of Saturated Sands in Half-Space Domains under a Train of Surface Point Explosions

The probability of liquefaction in saturated sand deposits subjected to a train of shear stress pulses propagating from a point blast source applied at the boundary surface of the elastic medium is investigated. The load effect is evaluated in approximate closed form using three-dimensional tensoria...
