Liquefaction occurs in locations where water rises to the surface of the ground, as in swamps, streams, and along beaches. The study of this phenomenon is important in the field of sanitary engineering, since this must be considered in the design and construction of hydro-sanitary works in which its occurrence must be known at conceptual and experimental levels. The above in order to analyze the behavior of the soil to be intervened, so that the occurrence of the liquefaction phenomenon is minimal and the structures do not suffer any possible damage. In this research article, the results obtained from a theoretical-experimental work in soil liquefaction phenomenon are presented. The process was developed in three phases. In the experimental stage, the samples of undrained soil were characterized, which can be subjected to the process of liquefaction, by applying the model proposed. Subsequently, five trials were conducted with different volumes of material that underwent a specific water table. Finally, the data obtained through the statistical correlation model were analyzed, which allowed to determine the occurrence of the event, and to analyze the phenomenon and its possible implications in hydro-sanitary works.Downloads
