The evaluation of liquefaction potential of soil due to an earthquake is an important step in geosciences. This article examines the capability of Minimax Probability Machine (MPM) for the prediction of seismic liquefaction potential of soil based on the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data. The dataset has been taken from Chi-Chi earthquake. MPM is developed based on the use of hyperplanes. It has...

The mechanical behavior of saturated soil is mainly governed by the interaction between the soil skeleton and the pore fluid, and this interaction may lead to significant loss of strength known as liquefaction under seismic loading conditions. The main objective of this paper is to implement a cyclic constitutive model based on fuzzy set plasticity theory, which is capable of modeling soil dila...

In this paper, assessment of liquefaction of soils by various approaches have been reviewed and presented in chronological order. The study focuses on procedural requirements and assessment for conventional and computational methods. Simplified method given by Seed, Tokimatsu-Yoshimi (T-Y) and Idriss & Boulanger methods of liquefaction assessmenthave been analyzed. Computational methods like ar...

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...

10 Liquefaction of ligno-cellulosic biomass is one of the chemical conversion technologies for 11 developing new materials, adhesives and energy systems. The liquefaction process also 12 provides an opportunity to utilize ligno–cellulosic wastes such as saw-dust, woody wastes, 13 branches and twigs, agro-residues, etc. for the development of value added products. This 14 paper presents the liqu...

According to historical documents and Moroccan earthquakes catalogs, the coastal zone has suffered in past from several earthquakes. Understanding how sedimentary basins respond seismic-wave energy generated by earthquake events is a significant concern for seismic-hazard estimation risk analysis. The main goal of this study determine distribution natural frequency value (F), amplification fact...

Abstract The Kretek 2 Bridge is one of the important infrastructures built on southern coast road Java. Referring to Map Indonesia Liquefaction Vulnerability Zone in 2019, was identified as a high liquefaction susceptibility zone. result potential analysis slab-on-pile section indicates that soil layer has liquefy if an earthquake occurs. Based Severity Index, severity index at BH-10, moderate ...

Abstract: In recent years deadly earthquakes in seismic areas have caused special concerns regarding liquefaction phenomenon by researchers and specialists. Excess pore water pressure in loose sediments may cause phenomena such as boiling, shearing strength and dynamic stiffness reduction and lateral movements cause difficulties. Many remedial methods such as soil replacement with proper materi...

Microwave-assisted liquefaction has shown potential for rapid thermal processing of lignocellulosic biomass. The efficiency of microwave heating depends largely on the dielectric properties of the materials being heated. The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamic interactions between microwave energy and the reaction system during the liquefaction of a woody biomass sample. The ...
