ABSTRACT
The numerical simulation was carried out with a 2D&3D FEM program called DBLEAVES. The program incorporates a newly proposed elasto-plastic constitutive model (Zhang et al. 2006) that can describe different liquefaction behaviors of sands with different densities with unique values of material parameters. The element simulation of cyclic mobility behavior is shown in Figure 3. It can be seen that
the behavior of cyclic mobility can be described well using the newly proposed constitutive model.
