Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil Liquefaction during Recent Large-Scale Earthquakes contains selected papers presented at the New Zealand – Japan Workshop on Soil Liquefaction during Recent Large-Scale Earthquakes (Auckland, New Zealand, 2-3 December 2013). The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand and the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake in Japan have caused significant damage to many residential houses due to varying degrees of soil liquefaction over a very wide extent of urban areas unseen in past destructive earthquakes. While soil liquefaction occurred in naturally-sedimented soil formations in Christchurch, most of the areas which liquefied in Tokyo Bay area were reclaimed soil and artificial fill deposits, thus providing researchers with a wide range of soil deposits to characterize soil and site response to large-scale earthquake shaking. Although these earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan caused extensive damage to life and property, they also serve as an opportunity to understand better the response of soil and building foundations to such large-scale earthquake shaking. With the wealth of information obtained in the aftermath of both earthquakes, information-sharing and knowledge-exchange are vital in arriving at liquefaction-proof urban areas in both countries. Data regarding the observed damage to residential houses as well as the lessons learnt are essential for the rebuilding efforts in the coming years and in mitigating buildings located in regions with high liquefaction potential. As part of the MBIE-JSPS collaborative research programme, the Geomechanics Group of the University of Auckland and the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory of the University of Tokyo co-hosted the workshop to bring together researchers to review the findings and observations from recent large-scale earthquakes related to soil liquefaction and discuss possible measures to mitigate future damage. Soil Liquefaction during Recent Large-Scale Earthquakes will be of great interest to researchers, academics, industry practitioners and other professionals involved in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering, Foundation Engineering, Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics.

Download or read book Liquefaction induced Lateral Displacements from the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence in New Zealand Measured from Remote Sensing Techniques written by Sorin S. Secara and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquefaction is a significant earthquake hazard that can generate large horizontal displacements associated with lateral spreading and these displacements cause considerable damage. To improve our understanding of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading and the models that can be used to predict the associated displacements, the collection of high quality field data on lateral spreading displacements is essential. Remote sensing techniques, in particular optical image correlation using satellite imagery, can be used for this purpose. This thesis investigates optical image correlation of satellite images as a remote sensing technique for this purpose using images from the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence in New Zealand. Optical image correlation uses two optical images – one before and one after the investigated event – to measure displacements that have occurred between the time of the two image acquisitions. The correlation analysis calculates the horizontal displacement at a specified spacing, and the displacements are post-processed and filtered to attain the final displacement field. The displacement results from optical image correlation agreed favorably with qualitative field observations of the severity of liquefaction and lateral spreading, as well as the general crack patterns along the Avon River. A more quantitative comparison was performed using field measured displacements along four linear transects that extended perpendicular from the Avon River. The displacements from optical image correlation also agreed favorably with the field measured displacement profiles, although the optical image correlation displacements somewhat larger than the field measurements. This discrepancy occurs because field measurements are based on discrete measurements of crack width, while the optical image correlation are based on average displacements over larger areas and include displacements associated with ductile movements that may not result in cracking. The results from this research show that optical image correlation of satellite imagery pairs can provide accurate and detailed measurements of horizontal displacements due to liquefaction and lateral spreading. This approach can be used to create more complete and detailed databases of liquefaction-induced movements, which can be used to improve current predictive models for lateral spread displacements. Future post-earthquake investigations and research should make use of optical image correlation to document the displacements associated with liquefaction.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquefaction induced lateral spreading during earthquakes poses a significant hazard to infrastructure and has severe consequences. It is critical for geotechnical earthquake engineers to be able to accurately predict lateral spread movements. Empirical and semi-empirical models and various liquefaction index parameters are available to help predict the potential for damage and movements associated with liquefaction and lateral spreading. In this thesis, the available models and liquefaction index parameters were investigated using the observed lateral spread displacements from the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand. The analysis includes investigation of the Youd et al. (2002), Bardet et al. (2002), Rauch and Martin (2000) and Zhang et al. (2004) displacement models; and the liquefaction potential index (LPI), settlement indicator (Sv1d) and liquefaction severity number (LSN) parameters. The results of this study show that both the Youd et al. (2002) and Bardet et al. (2002) models predict lateral spread displacements much smaller than observed in Christchurch, most likely due to the relatively small magnitude of the Christchurch earthquake (M[subscript w] = 6.2) relative to the earthquake magnitudes included in datasets used to develop the Youd et al. (2002) and Bardet et al. (2002) models (i.e., Mw >= 7.5). The Rauch and Martin (2000) and Zhang et al. (2004) models predicted lateral spread displacements more similar to those observed. The Rauch and Martin (2000) model predicts the average lateral spread displacement over an entire slide area, as opposed to predicting lateral spread displacement at a point, which may have contributed to the more favorable comparison.

This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction (liquefaction) is a leading cause of earthquake damage worldwide. Liquefaction is often described in the literature as the phenomena of seismic generation of excess porewater pressures and consequent softening of granular soils. Many regions in the United States have been witness to liquefaction and its consequences, not just those in the west that people associate with earthquake hazards. Past damage and destruction caused by liquefaction underline the importance of accurate assessments of where liquefaction is likely and of what the consequences of liquefaction may be. Such assessments are needed to protect life and safety and to mitigate economic, environmental, and societal impacts of liquefaction in a cost-effective manner. Assessment methods exist, but methods to assess the potential for liquefaction triggering are more mature than are those to predict liquefaction consequences, and the earthquake engineering community wrestles with the differences among the various assessment methods for both liquefaction triggering and consequences. State of the Art and Practice in the Assessment of Earthquake-Induced Soil Liquefaction and Its Consequences evaluates these various methods, focusing on those developed within the past 20 years, and recommends strategies to minimize uncertainties in the short term and to develop improved methods to assess liquefaction and its consequences in the long term. This report represents a first attempt within the geotechnical earthquake engineering community to consider, in such a manner, the various methods to assess liquefaction consequences.

This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Central United States is home to several seismically active regions: the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, the South Central Illinois Seismic Zone, and the New Madrid Seismic Zone. All three of these regions are capable of inducing large ground motion throughout the Mississippi Valley and along the eastern border of Missouri. This has been supported by many paleoseismic studies conducted throughout the region, which have identified numerous instances of liquefaction phenomena. The fluvial deposition process associated with the Mississippi river valley makes it a prime location for possible liquefaction and lateral spreading effects. However, there are few studies pertaining to lateral spreading phenomena in the Midwest. This thesis investigates the current state-of-practice in lateral spreading estimation and determines an evaluation process adequate for the specific needs of the Midwest. A bridge site along the Mississippi River, the Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge, is evaluated for lateral spreading and recommendations for the applicability of the process to the Midwest are made"--Abstract, p. iii.
