Analysis of Soil Liquefaction Potential through Three Field Tests-Based Methods: A Case Study of Babol City

During earthquakes, ground failure is commonly caused by liquefaction. Thus, assessment of soil liquefaction potential in earthquake-prone regions a crucial step towards reducing earthquake hazard. Since Babol city Iran country located high seismic area, estimation great importance this city. For purpose, the present research, using field-based methods and geotechnical data (such as unit weight soil, relative density, SPT number, shear wave velocity cone tip resistance) 60 available boreholes Babol, three maps were provided. Finally, one comprehensive map was presented for The obtained results paper are well line with previous investigations. Based on results, factor safety 45% study area less than (liquefaction occurrence). In addition, indicate that since each method requires particular data, applying various field tests necessary more accurate assessment.
