Abstract

Centrifuge Testing Soil Grouting Earthquake Liquefaction Lateral Spreading
This paper presents a series of centrifuge tests studying the performance of colloidal silica grouted soil layers during permanent lateral ground deformations due to earthquake induced lateral spreading. Two centrifuge tests were conducted to study liquefaction resistance of liquefiable soil deposits stabilized with colloidal silica, and then the results were compared with the tests conducted on similar soil deposits without any soil remediation. The testing results on remediated soils showed excellent resistance against the liquefaction and associated lateral and vertical ground deformations.
