Liquefaction assessment

Liquefaction assessment

 The Research Unit of SDGEE provides the whole spectrum of studies and expertise related to liquefaction risk assessment:

  • In-situ testing and surveys
  • Laboratory testing (cyclic triaxial tests)
  • Numerical analysis under total and effective stresses
  • Evaluation of the liquefaction susceptibility
  • Liquefaction risk assessment including evaluation of permanent displacements and lateral spreading
  • Recommendation and design of mitigation measures
