Assessment of liquefaction potential of sand distributed in the 1 District, Ho Chi Minh city

Liquefaction of sand is not a rare geological phenomenon. When it happens, causes great damage to people. However, 1 District, Ho Chi Minh city where despite being leading economic and political zone city, many buildings with different loads metro lines have been will be rebuilt, but liquefaction potential has assessed. This paper presents study on belonging the Pleistocene lithological complex marine origin amSQ13 in based standard penetration test (SPT) peak ground acceleration scenarios. Research results show that, when amax = 0.0848 g, few points this area occur liquefaction. increased, specifically 0.1 g amax= 0.15 there were 8% 68% survey occurred, respectively. The also shows depth about 20m, District still possible g. research contribute additional references for researchers urban spatial planning area.
