Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a process by

temporarily lose stren't& and be&a(e
as a (iscous liquid rat&er t&an a solid.
)&e types of sediments most
susceptible are clay*free deposits of
sand and silts+ occasionally, 'ra(el
lique-es.

It is t&e mec&anical blendin' of t&e in*situ

materials are lime , cement, @y as& or

2ynamic compaction3
It is performed by repeatedly droppin' a

'round surface, %ei'&ts usually ran'e
from # to A0 tons.
