The Navy has $25 billion worth of facilities in seismically active regions. Each year $200 million of new facilities are added to those in seismically active areas. The Navy, because of its mission, must locate at the waterfront with a high watertable and often on marginal land. Seismically induced liquefaction is a major threat to the Navy. Presently, procedures do not exist to analyze the effect of liquefaction on structures. Developing an effective stress soil model will provide a tool for such analysis of waterfront structures. To understand the significance of liquefaction, it is important to note the damage caused in recent experiences. This study is directed toward examining the predictive capabilities of the numerical procedure proposed in a previous work titled studies of the capabilities of a soil model to predict axial drained/undrained responses of two sands.
