Local Soil

In seismic engineering, the dynamic property of the soil is one of the most important aspects in ground response analysis. Dynamic property is significantly affected by local soil deposits. Shear wave velocity (Vs) of soil is one of the main parameters in determining the amplification factor on ground surface. It is not economically feasible to measure Vs for all sites. Therefore, a reliable empirical correlation between Vs and standard penetration resistance (Nspt) will be useful since Nspt data are easily obtainable in construction industry. This study aims to develop an empirical correlation between Vs and Nspt for all soils by considering the effect of site classification according to the Uniform Building Code. New empirical correlations for all soils are presented in this study and well compared with the previous study to evaluate prediction capability. Results show that site classification has a significant impact on the Vs estimation, and that the proposed correlations are the most appropriate for estimating the Vs profile in the studied area compared with existing correlations.

Impressive progress has been made in the last 25 years in recognizing liquefaction hazards, understanding liquefaction phenomena, and analyzing and evaluating the potential for liquefaction at a site. Recent findings related to the application of the seismic cone penetration test (SCPT) for the evaluation of liquefaction potential under cyclic loading are presented and discussed. The SCPT provides independent measurements of penetration resistance, pore pressures, and shear-wave velocity in a fast, continuous, and economic manner. The current methods available for evaluating liquefaction using penetration resistance are presented and discussed. Recent developments in the application of shear-wave velocity to evaluate liquefaction potential are discussed, and a new method based on normalized shear-wave velocity is proposed. Limited case-history data are used to evaluate and support the proposed correlation. A worked example is presented to illustrate the potential usefulness of the SCPT for evaluating liquefaction potential at a site. Key words : liquefaction, in situ tests, seismic.
