英文摘要：

The 2-D particle flow code （PFC^2D） approach of discrete element method is applied to simulate the liquefaction behavior of saturated sand under cyclic loading. In the numerical simulation the sample is exerted by the loading with cyclic uniform strain amplitude and keeping the volume unchanged. The macroscopic liquefaction response is obtained and the variation law of average internal co-ordination number in the process of liquefaction is analyzed. The effects of cyclic strain amplitude and confining pressure on liquefaction behavior obtained from numerical simulation are further analyzed by comparing the result with laboratory test data. It is found that the numerical simulation can quantitatively reflect the general characteristics of liquefaction behavior of saturated sand under cyclic loading, and the law of liquefaction resistance affected by cyclic strain amplitude and confining pressure is conform with the test result.
