Spatial variability of liquefaction potential in regional mapping using CPT and SPT data

Seismic velocities and geotechnical data applied to the soil microzoning of western Algarve, Portugal

“…This result agrees with those of others (Romero and Rix, 2001;Scott et al, 2004;Thelen et al, 2006) that conclude that surficial geology is not a good corollary for determining soil amplification factors (Lenz and Baise, 2007).…”

Fines-content effects on liquefaction hazard evaluation for infrastructure in Christchurch, New Zealand

“…In the decades since its inception, LPI has been widely adopted as a predictive proxy for liquefaction damage potential and has been used worldwide in hazard mapping, urban planning, and the engineering design of infrastructure (e.g., [52,2,27,28,36,16,26,29,15,33]). However, in using LPI to assess liquefaction hazard in current practice, it is not always appreciated that the efficacy of LPI hazard assessment (and the Iwasaki criterion) is inherently linked to the LEP used within the LPI framework.…”

Probabilistic Evaluation of Liquefaction-Induced Ground Failures Triggered by Seismic Loading in Urban Environment; Case Studies From Greece

“…These maps comprise a preliminary assessing tool of the liquefaction potential and can be used by decision makers for urban planning purposes. Such thematic maps were published for Busehr, Iran (Hosseini 1998), for the state of California, USA (Holzer et al 2002), for the town of Inegol, Turkey (Sonmez 2003;Sonmez and Gokceoglou (2005), for the town of Ceyhan, Turkey (Ulusay and Kuru 2004), and for the city of Lefkada, Greece (Papathanassiou et al 2005), California, U.S.A by Lenz and Baise (2007) and Memphis, U.S.A (Cramer et al 2008) 4.
