Errors in Conventional Calculations of Soil Phase Relationships
Soil physical properties derived from phase relationships such as void ratio, degree of saturation, water content, and unit weight conventionally are formulated and calculated under the implicit assumption that the volumes of the three soil phases (i.e., solid, water, and air) are independent and unaffected by interactions among phases.
Current simplified models for predicting liquefaction triggering and manifestation do not account for the mechanisms of liquefaction triggering and surface manifestation in a consistent and sufficient manner.
