LEAP-GWU-2015 Laboratory Tests

The LEAP-2015 project was the planning phase of the Liquefaction Experiments and Analysis Projects (LEAP). As part of this project, a numerical simulation exercise was organized to assess the predictive capabilities of a number of constitutive models and numerical techniques for modeling of soil liquefaction and lateral spreading of mildly sloping grounds. The dataset presented here documents a series of soil characterization and element tests performed by researchers at the George Washington University for the LEAP-GWU-2015 project. The results of standard soil characterization tests (particle size distribution analysis, specific gravity, minimum and maximum densities, hydraulic conductivity) as well a series of monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests (strain-controlled and stress controlled) on Ottawa F65 sand are shared in this archive. All this data were provided to the LEAP-2015 numerical simulation teams to calibrate the constitutive models used in the numerical simulations.
