A NEW METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF SOIL LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL

Estimation of soil liquefaction potential is among the most investigated topics of modern geotechnical engineering but still remains to be one of the challengingaspects of earthquake geotechnics. Liquefaction is a type of ground failure, which usually occurs in loose saturated soil. The generation of excess pore pressure underundrained loading conditions results in liquefaction. Researchers presented various correlations to estimate liquefaction potential but many of derived models havecomplicated formulas. This study presents simple correlations that are also accurate.
