Evaluation of liquefaction potential by standard penetration test and shear wave velocity methods: a case study

Dynamic loads such as earthquakes can cause major failure to soil, and the foremost of these is soil liquefaction. In engineering studies, liquefaction analyses be performed by different methods based on results field laboratory experiments. this study, potential soils Batman settlement zone, located close East Anatolian Fault Zone in Türkiye, was evaluated. study area, Meydan site consists low-medium plasticity clay (CL) at a depth 1.5–3 m silty sand (SM) 3.5–12.45 m; Bahçelievler 1.5–7 7–15 m. For analysis, magnitudes accelerations design earthquake were selected 0.30 g for accelerations, 7.5 6.5 magnitudes. purpose, effects parameters evaluated using standard penetration test (SPT) shear wave velocity (Vs) with Microsoft Excel-based SoilEngineering program obtained correlated discussed. It emphasized work that provide more reliable results. addition, strata locations where risk high found have total approximately 36.87 36.2 cm, parallel risk, it determined there may area.
