Soil Liquefaction Potential Evaluation with Use of the Simplified Procedure

Location

St. Louis, Missouri

Presentation Date

28 Apr 1981, 9:00 am - 12:30 pm

Abstract

A simplified method based on both a liquefaction resistance factor, FL and a liquefaction potential factor, PL has been proposed for evaluating soil liquefaction potential. The factor FL indicates the liquefaction potential at a given depth of a site, and the factor PL indicates the one at a site. The effectiveness of the proposed method is investigated by calculating the factors FL and PL at both liquefied and non-liquefied sites during past typical earthquakes in Japan, and carrying out shaking table tests.
