Utilizing an unprecedented database of field and laboratory test data from Christchurch,
New Zealand, this study develops deterministic and probabilistic correlations relating the …

Current simplified models for predicting liquefaction triggering and manifestation do not
account for the mechanisms of liquefaction triggering and surface manifestation in a …

The severity of surface manifestation of liquefaction is commonly used as a proxy for
liquefaction damage potential. As a result, manifestation severity index (MSI) models are …

Multiple interbedded fine-grained layers in a sand deposit have a “smoothing” effect on the
measured Cone Penetration Test (CPT) tip resistance (qc), resulting in a significant …

In deterministic evaluations, liquefaction triggering potential is assessed by comparing the
computed factor-of-safety (FS) against liquefaction triggering to some minimal acceptable …

This study assesses the robustness of a framework based on critical state soil mechanics
(CSSM) principles in evaluating earthquake-induced liquefaction manifestation. The …

Evaluations of Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI) in the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake
sequence (CES) in New Zealand have shown that the severity of surficial liquefaction …

This paper aims to provide a design basis for engineering disaster prevention and mitigation
by accurately describing the spatial distribution of soil liquefaction. A group of in-situ Cone …

The liquefaction potential index (LPI) was found to significantly overpredict the severity of
observed liquefaction for a large subset of case histories compiled from Canterbury, New …

The stress-based simplified procedure is the most widely used approach for evaluating
liquefaction triggering-potential of sandy soils. In deterministic liquefaction evaluations,“rules …
