Pressurized liquefied natural gas (PLNG) is a new liquefaction solution proposed in recent years for reducing the construction and operating costs of floating (FLNG). For gas, temperature strongly influenced by pressure; when pressure increases, increases accordingly. The increase leads to higher solubility impurities such as carbon dioxide, which means that pretreatment standards can be reduce...

A series of cyclic direct simple shear tests are performed to investigate the liquefaction resistance sandy soils from Christchurch, New Zealand. The study focuses on combined effects soil density and fines content soils. Two sands, a non-plastic silt, their mixtures prepared at different contents tested two sets relative densities. Test specimens reconstituted using procedure for water sedimen...

The results of research on some aspects of coastal dynamics during earthquakes, carried out in the Institute of Hydro-Engineering, are summarized. The attention is focused on the liquefaction-related phenomena, like modeling the earthquake-induced generation of pore-pressures and subsequent liquefaction of subsoil, the behavior of liquefied soil, underwater landslides, sinking of structures in ...

Earthquake and its catastrophic failures has been one of the disturbance worry of Civil Engineers. In geotechnical science, liquefaction is one of the most important phenomenons induced by earthquake. A change in pore water pressure follows a change in effective stress, and in a critical state in which pore water pressure equals the total stress in soil particles, soil strength is suddenly lost...

Bachmann et al. (2005) contend that a major fraction of flocculent sediments, a ‘‘fluid mud layer,’’ which has accumulated in Lake Apopka, Florida, since 1947, originated from sediment liquefaction of consolidated macrophyte-derived sediments. In addition, they contend that the underlying historic sediments are not only a major source of fluid mud, but also the source of organic matter for inte...
