Abstract

Large ground displacement caused by seismic liquefaction is one of the main reasons for damage to highways, railways, bridges, and other lifeline engineering. Considering the disadvantages of current research methods for large deformation analysis of flowing liquefied soil, this chapter uses the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method to carry out numerical simulations for analyzing flow behavior of sandy soil after liquefaction.
