A Simplified Procedure for Evaluating Soil Liquefaction Potential
Catastrophic failures in recent earthquakes have provided a sobering reminder that liquefaction of sandy soils as a result of earthquake ground shaking poses a major threat to the safety of civil engineering structures. Major landslides, lateral movements of bridge supports, settling and tilting of buildings, and failure of waterfront retaining structures have all been observed in recent years as a result of this phenomenon and efforts have been increasingly directed to the development of methods of evaluating the liquefaction potential of soil deposits. It is the purpose of the present paper to describe a simplified procedure for evaluating liquefaction potential and to compare the results obtained by the method with a number of cases in which liquefaction is known either to have occurred or not occurred in the field.
