Should I reduce soil strength for non-liquefiable soil
Should I reduce soil strength for non-liquefiable soil
(OP)
If my liquefaction analysis indicate the soil will liquefy, there is enough research there to estimate my residual strength after liquefaction.
However, if my liquefaction analysis indicate my soil won't liquefy (FS>1), should I also reduce my strength? FS>1 may still suggest partial liquefaction, and certain level of exess pore pressure has built up. Is this worth to consider? Any reference?
