Abstract

Risks of liquefaction are commonly related to saturated cohesionless soils that have low plasticity and density. As liquefaction causes severe destruction to structures and risk of losing lifeline it is important to study the liquefaction potential for CRDA region because for the development of AP capital heavy structures are being constructed and a population increase is being expected in this region. In the current investigation, soil resistance to liquefaction was analyzed in each bore log in consideration of significant soil characteristics such as grain size, fines content, unit weight, saturation percentage, SPT N-value, and soil origin. The safety factor for liquefaction is evaluated using data from several bore holes that were collected and used for this purpose. The approach recommended by Seed and Idriss was utilized to assess the safety factor for liquefaction. The obtained results from the semi-empirical calculations are further compared to the results obtained from Software for more reliability.
