Risk Analysis for Earthquake-Induced Ground Failure by Liquefaction
A methodology is proposed to study the likelihood of ground failure by liquefaction. Two alternate probabilistic models are developed which consider the uncertainties present both in the methods of analysis employed and the parameters used. The first model is based on a new empirical method of analysis for liquefaction which employs earthquake magnitude and hypocentral distance. The second probabilistic model is based on a modified version of a current method of analysis for liquefaction. These two models are later incorporated into risk analyses for liquefaction. Following the proposed procedure for liquefaction risk analysis, the actual site of a nuclear power plant is studied and the results are presented in this thesis.
