Liquefaction perspective of soil ageing

Liquefaction of Heterogeneous Soil: Centrifuge Study

A series of centrifuge liquefaction tests have been conducted at C-CORE’s geotechnical centrifuge facility: two on variable soil and one on uniform soil deposits. A single storied frame structure resting on two strip footings was also placed on that soil deposit. Experimental results such as accelerations, excess pore water pressures (EPWP) and settlements were monitored throughout the tests. R...

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 ...

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...
