Abstract

The aim of this work was to study the saturated sand behavior under seismic effects which are stressed with several seismic vibrations and a reproduced seismic shaking frequency. The external excitation was operated by regular horizontal oscillations with controlled frequency and amplitude. The liquefaction had then a direct impact on the vertical displacement of intruders. We concluded that the movement of the intruder depends on the imposed acceleration and the relative density.
