Response
Published research (Okamura and Soga, 2006; Hossain et al., 2013) supports that
partially saturated soils have a significantly greater resistance to liquefaction than
saturated soils.

Liquefaction Triggering
(Dilative) If the volumetric strain is
positive at the peak strength then no
liquefaction.
(Contractive) Conversely, liquefaction
will occur if the volumetric strain is
negative at the peak strength.

It is incorrect to displace the pile head to match the
lateral spread and then add the inertial load. Bending
should be de-coupled

Probably more
reasonable to use
