ASSESSING SEISMIC SOIL LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL USING MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH

Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential of Soil Using Genetic Programming

Liquefaction of soil is one of the major causes for the significant damages to the buildings, lifeline systems and harbor facilities caused by the earthquakes. At present artificial intelligence techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) based models are found to be more efficient compared to statistical methods. The present study discusses about the eva...

Simplified model for evaluating soil liquefaction potential using CPTU

Shear-Wave Velocity–Based Probabilistic and Deterministic Assessment of Seismic Soil Liquefaction Potential

Shear-wave velocity (Vs) offers a means to determine the seismic resistance of soil to liquefaction by a fundamental soil property. This paper presents the results of an 11-year international project to gather new Vs site data and develop probabilistic correlations for seismic soil liquefaction occurrence. Toward that objective, shear-wave velocity test sites were identified, and measurements m...

A unified classification model for modeling of seismic liquefaction potential of soil based on CPT

The evaluation of liquefaction potential of soil due to an earthquake is an important step in geosciences. This article examines the capability of Minimax Probability Machine (MPM) for the prediction of seismic liquefaction potential of soil based on the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data. The dataset has been taken from Chi-Chi earthquake. MPM is developed based on the use of hyperplanes. It has...

Decision Tree Approach for Soil Liquefaction Assessment

In the current study, the performances of some decision tree (DT) techniques are evaluated for postearthquake soil liquefaction assessment. A database containing 620 records of seismic parameters and soil properties is used in this study. Three decision tree techniques are used here in two different ways, considering statistical and engineering points of view, to develop decision rules. The DT ...
