Abstract

It is aimed to review a series of the research investigation on liquefaction mechanism for mitigation. A number of theoretical and computational studies have been performed by various researchers to determine the different types of liquefaction mechanism and evaluating ultimate bearing capacity of foundations in the presence of the static, dynamic and blast pore water pressure. But never these mechanisms have been compared base on latest scientific achievement. The liquefaction mechanisms of soil foundation under different condition have been reviewed by comparing experimental and numerical modeling for better interpretation. The result has been highlighted that the water pressure function could be controlled without reducing pore water pressure magnitude. This guideline could be used for liquefaction mitigation. The research requirement is also recommended.

Keywords:

Foundation stability, new achievement, liquefaction, pore water pressure,
