Blast densification: A proposed methodology to quantify the amount of densification required to prevent liquefaction and flow in sandy soils

This paper presents a methodology to quantify the amount of blast densification or number of passes required for a given project to prevent liquefaction and flow in saturated, loose sandy soils. The proposed methodology is based on the concepts of the critical state soil mechanics, and the number o...
