Analyzing and Preventing Liquefaction Hazards of Soil

Aim of this project is to analyze the liquefaction susceptibility on selected sites. The selected sites of specific data related to Standard Penetration Tests data are collected for determination of liquefaction susceptibility of these sites. Liquefaction, which can be defined as a loss of strength and stiffness in soils, is one of the major causes of damage to buildings and infrastructure during an earthquake. To overcome a lack of comprehensive analyses of seismically induced liquefaction. The characteristics of liquefaction and its related damage to soils and foundations during earthquakes or settlements of structures. By using the research paper of Seed and Idriss in 1971 and then updated and refined by Youd and Idriss in1997, Youd et.al. In 2001 and Ray Seed in 2003 all this paper are ASCE and other researcher and calculated on Microsoft excel. Finally we can analyses the liquefied zones of sites with the help above research paper.
