Abstract

This paper presents a simplified procedure for predicting earthquake-induced level and sloped ground failure, namely liquefaction and shear failure. It consists of a framework where cyclic stress ratio (CSR), static stress ratio (SSR) and undrained shear strength (USS) are formulated considering simple shear conditions, which simulate field stress during earthquakes more realistically.
