Cyclic triaxial tests have been widely used to determine the liquefaction susceptibility of soils in the laboratory. Tests have been mostly performed on clean sand and silty/clayey sand where the specimens are reconstituted in the lab. Two major criteria have been used to define liquefaction: 1) loss of effective confining pressure due to excess pore pressure build up (usually referred to as initial liquefaction) and 2) 5% double amplitude strain (±2.5% axial strain) with the later being the more popular choice in recent years. This paper compiles results from the literature and research by the author to address the applicability of using the 5% double amplitude strain criterion for liquefaction with the recent growth in testing non-traditional geo-materials.
