Licuación en Arcillas
Licuación en Arcillas
Some sandy soils include clayey fines. Ishihara and Koseki (1989) showed that plastic fines
tend to inhibit pore-pressure generation and suggested that the plasticity index, PI, of the
fines be used to determine a factor
by which the computed factor of safety against liquefaction should be multiplied to account for
plastic fines.
