Assessing Liquefaction Potential Based on Cone Penetration Test Results, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ahmadi, Mohammad Mehdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
This study aimed to model the cone penetration test using FLAC 2D software in order to investigate the silty soils that can be found in tailing dams. Additionally, the model of the direct simple shear test was built in the software to estimate the variation of liquefaction potential in these soils with in-situ conditions. It should be noted that the constitutive law used in this study was the NORSAND model which meets the requirements of modeling in both tests. After validating the models, several important parameters are considered as variables to examine their effects on the results of both experiments. Regarding the validation of the models, the constructed numerical models of the cone...
