Seismic Liquefaction Trigger Mechanisms

Three possible mechanisms for the onset of excess pore water pressure generation due to seismic excitation of saturated soil are investigated using downhole array data from sixteen real earthquakes. The downhole data are used to synthesize both stress and strain at various depths within the groun...
