Conditions of soils dilution of dams under seismic impacts

This report presents the results of the author's research on the dilution of water-saturated cohesive soils in the conditions of concussions. The nature of the weakening of the soil connectivity during vibration and the dynamic pressure that occurs in the thickness during the compaction of the disturbed soil structures, which contribute to the liquefaction and spreading of the soil from the body of the structure, is described. The criterion of the possibility of violation of the soil structure in the conditions of concussions is given. A theoretical method for determining this important indicator of the seismic strength of the soil is given
