@ARTICLE{Sawicki_A._A_2006, author={Sawicki, A. and Świdziński, W.}, volume={vol. 54}, number={No 4}, journal={Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences Technical Sciences}, pages={405-418}, howpublished={online}, year={2006}, abstract={The paper presents an estimation of liquefaction susceptibility of some soils from the coast of the Marmara Sea, which was heavily striken by the Kocaeli earthquake in 1999. Firstly, the results of field investigations are summarized. Then, the results of laboratory investigations of physical and mechanical properties of the soils collated from the sites investigated are presented. The mechanical properties relate to the compaction/liquefaction model of saturated soils. This model is briefly outlined, then respective experimental procedures dealing with its calibration described, and values of material parameters listed. Liquefaction potential of investigated soils is analysed using standard procedures, based on the grain size distribution curves and SPTs. Finally, the simulation of pore-pressure generation and onset of liquefaction of Turkish soils is carried out, using the compaction/liquefaction model. Discussion of some standard empirical procedures of estimation of liquefaction potential of saturated soils, conducted from the analytical point of view, is also presented.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={A study on liquefaction susceptibility of some soils from the coast of Marmara sea}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/111734/PDF-MASTER/(54-4)405.pdf}, keywords={liquefaction, Kocaeli earthquake, soil parameters, experimental investigations, analytical modelling}, }
