Abstract

The mechanism of water film (or crack) in saturated sand is analyzed first by numerical simulations under four given conditions. It is shown that there are only stable water films in the special conditions that there is a fixed thin layer. A simplified method for evaluating the thickness of water film is presented. The numerical results and that computed by the simplified method are compared with that of Kokusho.
