Feasibility of SPT to Evaluating Bachu-Jiashi Earthquake Liquefaction

Abstract:

Take February 24, 2003 the Xinjiang Bachu-Jiashi area liquefication investigation as a foundation, using the SPT count as an indicator of liquefaction decision, liquefied decision methods of sites are considered at domestic and abroad, in which Chinese code liquefied prediction method and Seed-Idriss method are included. The result indicated that our country code and the Seed-Idriss method in liquefied the location prediction success ratios are only 43% and 48%, is in favor of the danger obviously. The reason possibly is the formation of SPT data mainly from the local area, but the Bachu-Jiashi area soil is quite different, therefore is worth the deep research.
