Comparison of sand liquefaction in cyclic triaxial and simple shear tests

The liquefaction resistance and correction factors Kσ and Kα of Nakdong River sand obtained from cyclic triaxial (CTX) tests were compared with those determined by cyclic simple shear (CSS) tests to ascertain the importance of the reduction factor Cr and correction factors Kσ and Kα in liquefaction evaluations, especially in view of the lack of comparative liquefaction assessments based on different laboratory test apparatuses. All samples used...
