ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Earthquakes can cause liquefaction-induced damages of civil infrastructures supported on the foundation soil. Hence it is required to analyze the susceptibility of liquefaction in foundation soils including sands, silts, and low plastic clays. Based on Critical State Line (CSL) concept, it is possible to identify whether the soil can be susceptible to liquefaction or not. The critical state line can be developed based on drained triaxial compression testing data. In this study, CSL of silty sand is developed from drained triaxial test simulations based on the hypoplastic model.
