Abstract

In this paper two series of undrained cyclic triaxial tests with measuring shear wave velocity were performed in order to quantitatively evaluate aging effects on liquefaction resistance. In the first series, two types of specimens were prepared by air pluviation and wet tamping method using clean sand. In the second series, a disturbed natural sedimentary soil was collected from the layer that was formed in about eighty thousand years ago and had a shear wave velocity of 270 m/s. Giving various overconsolidation stress history to the reconstituted soils, the shear wave velocities and liquefaction resistances were investigated.
