About this document
Liquefaction Assessment for Tailings Facilities by Mauricio Padilla is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes and compares two methods for assessing liquefaction potential of tailings facilities using piezocone test data: Robertson (2010) and Idriss & Boulanger (2008). Both methods calculate a factor of safety against liquefaction by comparing the cyclic resistance ratio to the seismically induced cyclic stress ratio. The case study evaluates these methods for a tailings storage facility in Western Australia. Robertson
