Popis:	Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon that develops in loose saturated sand deposits during earthquakes (or other disturbances) that can cause great damage. In an effort to raise awareness of such a hazard, a computer simulation model of soil liquefaction was developed using STELLA (a computer program for model building and simulation). The model demonstrates the effect of the different parameters on the factor of safety against liquefaction. Students have the opportunity to draw conclusions and establish correlations by changing input parameters. The model was presented during the University of Nevada, Reno College of Engineering’s summer camp on geotechnical and earthquake engineering.
