Reply to the discussion by Robertson on “Liquefaction potential of silts from CPTu”

摘要

Our paper presented CPTu data from a silt tailings depositrnthat is believed to contain some of the loosest silt tested inrnthe experience of Golder Associates Ltd., so it is admittedlyrnan unusual case. The discusser raised several points aboutrnthe nature of this tailing deposit and its inferred behaviourrnbefore considering the wider implications of this case historyrnin the context of liquefaction screening. The authors thankrnthe discusser for his interest in this work, and in this replyrnwe will respond to the points raised by the discusser and expandrnon the implications of this case history for liquefactionrnscreening.
