SUMMARY:Liquefaction of cargo in ships - Professor David A

DESCRIPTION:The talk will provide a brief introduction to the 
 issue of liquefaction of cargo in ships and explai
 n the recent interest in the topic\, the types of 
 cargoes that are problematic and the procedures us
 ed to ensure safe transport. Although the cargoes 
 are nominally dry\, in practice because of mining 
 and processing procedures the ores often contain s
 ignificant amounts of moisture when placed into sh
 ips. The results of several series of tests conduc
 ted to understand the unsaturated soil mechanics b
 ehind the liquefaction phenomena will be presented
 . This will include cyclic tests of unsaturated or
 e like materials prepared at different densities a
 nd degrees of saturation\, small centrifuge tests 
 investigating moisture redistribution\, 1-D column
  tests of unsaturated soil subject to shaking and 
 finally the development and results from numerical
  FE analyses.
