Disaster Science Lecture 7: Liquefaction part 02 Civil Engineering Undergraduate Program Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning Universitas Islam Indonesia 2023 Universitas Islam Indonesia Instability on Sandy Soil Soil in engineering terms can be generally interpreted as a material consisting of aggregates (granules) of solid minerals that are not cemented (chemically bonded) to each other and from decayed organic materials (solid particles) accompanied by liquids and gases. which fills the empty spaces between the solid particles. The mineral grains that make up the solid part of the soil are the result of weathering of rocks. Broadly speaking, the characteristics of the soil can be described as follows: 1. ______ 2. Land of Looses 3. Normal consolidated clay 4. More consolidated clay 5. Bentonite 6. Peat Universitas Islam Indonesia 2 Types of soil that are susceptible to liquefaction are loose sandy to medium saturated soils. Tsuchida (1970) summarized the results of an analy.
