Abstract
Evaluation of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading is very important for the design of structures located on gently sloping ground and with relatively shallow groundwater. Extensive research has been performed on the calculation of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading based on the standard penetration test (SPT) and cone penetration test (CPT) data by various researchers (Bartlett and Youd 1992, 1995, Rauch, 1997; Zhang et al., 2004; Idriss and Boulanger, 2008). However, few published papers can be found that address the calculation of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading based on shear wave velocity. This paper presents a procedure to evaluate liquefaction-induced lateral spreading directly based on shear wave velocity. New empirical relationships for factor of safety against liquefaction, maximum shear strain, and shear wave velocity are developed based on the laboratory tests performed at the University of Tokyo (Ishihara and Yoshimine 1992, Yoshimine et al. 2006). The results calculated utilizing this new procedure are compared with those based on SPT and CPT data using existing methods. The results indicate good agreement. This approach not only provides a new method for estimating the liquefaction-induced lateral spreading directly from shear wave velocity data but also provides a cost effective tool for verification of CPT results because of the small cost increase in measuring shear wave velocity during the standard CPT testing.
