Loose submarine sand deposits, such as those found in the Fraser River Delta, Canada, are often susceptible to flow or cyclic liquefaction. These deltaic soils often contain both free and dissolved gas, most commonly methane, which will alter the soil strength and hence its potential for liquefaction. This paper evaluates the liquefaction resistance of loose gassy sands using laboratory and constitutive modeling results and presents a preliminary method for evaluating the liquefaction potential of gassy sands.
