Abstract
Liquefaction flow slides of submarine slopes with quasi-saturated sand have been frequently observed in engineering practice. That instability can be attributed to a decrease in resistant shear strength caused by static liquefaction. However, the triggering of static liquefaction in submarine slopes has received limited attention. To address this gap, a state-dependent constitutive model for quasi-saturated sand with entrapped air is employed that can represent the effects of compression and dissolution of gas accurately. Moreover, the soil model enables the evaluation of the triggering of static liquefaction based on second-order work. To study the triggering mechanism of static liquefaction, a submarine slope model is established using the material point method. The static liquefaction area is detected by the vanish of second-order work. Results indicate that static liquefaction initially arises at the slope surface and gradually expands towards the interior of the slope as the rapid loading at the top of the slope increases. Furthermore, the presence of entrapped gas within the slope can effectively enhance the resistance to slope instability caused by static liquefaction. It significantly alters both the location where static liquefaction is initially triggered and the subsequent evolution pattern, in comparison with saturated submarine slopes.
