The Role of Microstructure in the Liquefaction Mechanism | Rôle de la microstructure dans le mécanisme de liquéfaction

Veylon, G.
Microdirectional models involving a mesoscopic scale constitute a good alternative to phenomenological models. In the H-microdirectional model, the granular assembly is modelled by a distribution of hexagonal patterns of grains in contact oriented in space. In this paper, we investigate the micromechanical origin of the liquefaction observed from the H-microdirectional model in the light of an analysis of individual behaviour of each hexagon. It is shown that the principal direction of anisotropy determines the liquefaction susceptibility of a soil, whereas the degree of anisotropy affects the amplitude of the post-peak loss of shear strength.
