Résumé : |
Liquefaction triggering assessments are often performed for individual locations, providing little information in regard to the expected spatial extent of liquefaction events. The present paper proposes a method to quantify the potential extent of liquefaction by accounting for spatial dependence of soil properties and potential future earthquake shaking. Random-field theory and geostatistics tools are used to model soil properties and earthquake shaking intensity; this approach facilitates incorporation of measurement results obtained at individual locations within the area of interest. An empirical liquefaction triggering criterion is then used to model liquefaction occurrence as a function of the random-field realizations. The framework components are briefly described and an example analysis is performed to illustrate the details of the approach. The area of liquefied soil under a building in Adapazari, Turkey, is considered in the example, conditional upon soil property measurements obtained from nearby standard penetration tests. |
