Earthquake induced liquefaction in saturated granular soils is an important phenomenon causing severe damages. In order to minimize the ill-effects due to liquefaction, various lab tests, field tests are being used which assess the liquefaction potential. In the present study the shake table test has been used for assessing soil liquefaction of loose saturated cohesionless sand by simulating ea...

during the last years the total cost of lng technology has decreased significantly due to improvements of the liquefaction process. however, many liquefaction plants that are still in operation use a three-cascade refrigeration system. in this paper, an advanced exergetic analysis is applied to better understand the operation of a three-cascade refrigeration system for liquefaction of natural g...

previous case histories have shown that soil liquefaction severely damaged many structures supported on pile foundations during earthquakes. as a result, evaluating the potential for instability is an important consideration for the safe and resistant design of deep foundation against earthquakes. in this study, the liquefaction susceptibility of saturated sand interacting by single concrete pi...

The work is a primary approach to grab attention on probability of liquefaction hazard in Rangpur City Corporation area. The investigated area of Rangpur was suspected to have high liquefaction potential since the foundation soil consists of loose sandy silt with a very shallow aquifer. Standard Penetration Test (SPT), which follows the general format of the Seed-Idriss simplified procedure for...

the prediction of liquefaction potential of soil due to an earthquake is an essential task in civil engineering. the decision tree is a tree structure consisting of internal and terminal nodes which process the data to ultimately yield a classification. c4.5 is a known algorithm widely used to design decision trees. in this algorithm, a pruning process is carried out to solve the problem of the...

A Liquefaction Potential Map for Cache Valley, Utah

The amount of wood residue is used as a measurement of the extent of wood liquefaction. Characterization of the residue from wood liquefaction provides a new approach to understand some fundamental aspects of the liquefaction reaction. Residues were characterized by wet chemical analyses, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (...

Earthquake and its catastrophic failures has been one of the disturbance worry of Civil Engineers. In geotechnical science, liquefaction is one of the most important phenomenons induced by earthquake. A change in pore water pressure follows a change in effective stress, and in a critical state in which pore water pressure equals the total stress in soil particles, soil strength is suddenly lost...
