Abstract
In this paper, series of numerical studies were conducted aimed to the influence of the values of suction and degree of saturation to the liquefaction resistance of unsaturated soil. First, the numerical study about the initial value of the suction and the degree of saturations were examined. Both initial values caused the change of the liquefaction resistance. However, it became clear that the factors of the change of the liquefaction resistance for each value were different. Furthermore, the numerical study about the pass of the soil water characteristic curve was performed. The simulated results showed that the pass also affected the liquefaction resistance of unsaturated soils.
