Abstract: The Canadian geotechnical engineering community has completed a major collaborative 5 year research project entitled the Canadian Liquefaction Experiment (CANLEX). The main objective of the project was to study the phenomenon of soil liquefaction, which can occur in saturated sandy...

Abstract: In very loose sand, the ratio M-p of shear stress to mean normal stress at the peak point of the undrained effective stress path (UESP) is very close to the stress ratio M at the peak point of the capped yield surface. Stress ratios M-p can therefore be used in constructing yield...

Abstract: Liquefaction failures of loose sand deposits can be a major concern for the stability of coastal structures. an investigation to evaluate the possible contributions of different triggering mechanisms in a major liquefaction failure that occurred in 1985 at the mouth of the Main Channel...

Abstract: The relationship between the shapes of the yield surface and the undrained effective stress path (UESP) of loose sand is investigated for triaxial loading conditions. It is shown that the UESP can be used in the construction of capped yield surfaces for sands. The stress ratio M-p...
