Liquefaction at Moss Landing during Loma Prieta earthquake

Article Abstract:

A study on soil liquefaction following an earthquake at Moss Landing, CA, is evaluated. The study is praised for its comprehensive presentation of field results and observations as well as their agreement with the CPT-based curves for clean and silly sands. A revised application of the CPT for analyzing cyclic liquefaction potential without needing samples to determine the fines content and grain size of deposits is also discussed.

Optimum moisture content for dynamic compaction of collapsible soils

Article Abstract:

A discussion is presented evaluating variations in soil water content and their impacts on dynamic compaction. Topics include accommodations for rainfall, crater depth, and type of grain of deposits.
