“…One way to compare the results can be achieved by checking how close the layer-based settlement calculations of soiLique and SoilEngineering (Ozcep, 2010) for all boreholes. The settlement amount of each layer for the borehole, BH43, can be found in Table 3.…”

“…The results of soiLique were compared to the liquefaction analysis panel of another program, SoilEngineering, introduced by Ozcep (2010), to test the robustness of the algorithm. It is a widely used -especially in Turkey-, free access, and user-friendly Microsoft Excel ® based program for the geotechnical and geophysical analysis of soils.…”

“…Calculations were done separately using real SPT data and synthetic data such as V S measurements and CPT data. The real SPT data and synthetic VS data were used to compare soiLique and SoilEngineering (Ozcep, 2010). The present study presents an example of CPT data analysis but could not be used for comparison.…”

Soil liquefaction is one of the ground failures induced by earthquakes. Determining the safety factor and the settlements are the most common analyses to decrease liquefaction-induced failures and hazards. Scientists have suggested numerous empirical formulas to detect and mitigate liquefaction-based hazards, and they have been used over the decades. This study aims to present a user-friendly and interactive program for deterministic soil liquefaction analyses. The algorithm presented in this study, soiLique, is the first MATLAB® program, including a graphical user interface that provides the deterministic liquefaction analysis with the computation of parameters propounded with the formulas. One of the advantages of soiLique is that it allows picking the physical property of every layer (i.e., fine or coarse), which provides dealing with liquefaction prone layer(s) directly when necessary. Not only can one calculate parameters regarding soil liquefaction with the help of this program, but one also can see graphically supported results. The robustness of soiLique is checked with another soil liquefaction analysis program, SoilEngineering, which was introduced by Ozcep (2010). Calculations were done separately using real SPT data and synthetic data such as VS measurements and CPT data. The real SPT data and synthetic VS data were used to compare soiLique and SoilEngineering (Ozcep, 2010). The present study presents an example of CPT data analysis but could not be used for comparison. Comparisons reveal that outputs of soiLique and results of SoilEngineering showed a good agreement.

“…(Head, 1986) The design of a foundation, an earth dam, or a retaining wall cannot be made intelligently unless the designer has at least a reasonably accurate conception of the physical properties of the soils involved. The field and laboratory investigations required to obtain this essential information constitute soil exploration (Ozcep, 2010). There are several soil problems at local and regional scale related to the civil engineering structures (Ozcep, F. and Zarif, H., 2009;2010a, b, c Korkmaz andOzcep, 2010).…”

Dynamic loads, such as earthquakes, can cause damage to soils, especially from soil liquefaction.Liquefaction analyses provide more reliable results when combined with the properties of soils and earthquakes. In recent years, computer programs have been developed in which many parameters can be used to perform these analyses for solving geotechnical engineering problems. SoilEngineering is a Microsoft Excel-based geotechnical design program with which calculations can be carried out and graphical results can be achieved based on empirical relationships. In this study, the effects of soil and earthquake parameters on soil liquefaction were analyzed using a standard penetration test (SPT) and shear wave velocity (Vs). We observed that there is conformity between the parameters used in different techniques. Taken together, our results show that calculating the liquefaction risk using both soil and earthquake properties will produce reliable results in solving geotechnical problems.
