A thin layer of sand was placed on top of the clay layer to allow for drainage inboth directions when consolidation was performed on the clay layer.In order for a clay-sand mixture to be consolidated in the liquefaction tank, it was necessary toreinforce the plexiglass tank to accommodate for the horizontal stress produced due to thevertical consolidation load.
