LIQUEFACTION OF SLURRY COAL USING A SHAKE TABLE

by Kehinde Sokunbi
Soil Liquefaction occurs when a saturated soil loses strength and acts as liquid substance when introduced to seismic waves. The purpose of my research is to model a liquefaction process using slurry coal in a shake table. Through this approach, we are able to record the strength and properties of soil under these conditions and could significantly reduce the damage caused by liquefaction and prevent damage costs.
