GIS-Based Soil Liquefaction Hazard Zonation due to Earthquake Using Geotechnical Data

Soil Liquefaction Hazard Zonation Map for Kordkuy County, Golsetan Province Using Model SWM

Liquefaction is one of the most determinant factors in the collapse of transportation infrastructures. This is especially true for roads and railroads located on saturated, fine-sand substrates under seismic conditions. The damage and human casualties resulting from liquefaction highlight the importance of understanding and mapping this phenomenon. Soil liquefaction occurs as a natural hazard i...

Landslide Hazard Zonation Using Quantitative Methods in GIS

Landslides are major natural hazards which not only result in the loss of human life but also cause economic burden on the society. Therefore, it is essential to develop suitable models to evaluate the susceptibility of slope failures and their zonations. This paper scientifically assesses various methods of landslide susceptibility zonation in GIS environment. A comparative study of Weights of...

Assessment of Ground Deformation Due to Soil Liquefaction in the San Jose, California Area by Using Geotechnical It

This paper presents a study on the permanent lateral deformation and potential flow of ground due to soil liquefaction in the San Jose area of Northern California. Assessment of ground deformation by lateral flow is made through the use of a set of geotechnical Information Technologies, including GIS, LiDAR, and FEM analysis. By using a geotechnical database consisting of approximately 600 bore...

Modeling Soil Liquefaction Hazards for Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering

Using GIS data and satellite images to manage hazard zone in earthquake

One of the quickest and most efficient methods to study urbanism conditions and determine critical conditions of regions and rate of losses after earthquake is the use of aerial photos. The critical conditions are more severe in cities and mountainous regions due to the steep slope of traffic routes, snow and frosting, and use of aggregates. Using satellite images and GIS maps different regions...
