Liquefaction Function of:
Earthquake magnitude Distance from site Groundwater conditions (current or ‘high
water’?) Depth to ‘liquefiable’ strata (svo , rd)
Common Input Parameters: Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) Magnitude (M)

Liquefaction
Resistance to liquefaction Referred to as Cyclic Resistance Ratio
(CRR) or CSRfield
Function of: Geologic history (deposit type, age, OCR) Soil structure (relative density, clay content) Groundwater conditions
Factor of Safety = CRR/CSR
![Page 7: Www.HaywardBaker.com Ground Modification for Liquefaction Mitigation January 11, 2013 Kansas City, MO Tanner Blackburn, Ph.D., P.E. Assistant Chief Engineer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cb75503460f9497d367/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Liquefaction Evaluation of CRR (NCEER, 1997):
SPT blow count (N) Corrected blow count Need fines content Corrected clean sand blow count – N1(60)CS
CPT tip resistance (qc) and sleeve friction (fs)
Shear wave velocity (Vs)
Corrections for magnitude (M) Scaling factor (MSF) – apply to F.S.

Liquefaction – SPT Analysis
![Page 9: Www.HaywardBaker.com Ground Modification for Liquefaction Mitigation January 11, 2013 Kansas City, MO Tanner Blackburn, Ph.D., P.E. Assistant Chief Engineer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cb75503460f9497d367/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Liquefaction – CPT AnalysisTo address FC:
(qc1N)cs instead of qc1N
(qc1N)cs = Kc*qc1N
Kc = f(qc, fs, svo, s’vo)
This eliminates need for sampling to determine FC.

Liquefaction – Shear Wave

Liquefaction - MSF
![Page 12: Www.HaywardBaker.com Ground Modification for Liquefaction Mitigation January 11, 2013 Kansas City, MO Tanner Blackburn, Ph.D., P.E. Assistant Chief Engineer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cb75503460f9497d367/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example
Loose Sand (N1)60 at 15’ depth = 10 Fines Content < 5% (SW/SP) Water table during earthquake @ 5’ depth
Soil Parameters: svo’=1176 psf svo= 1800 psf rd = 0.97 PGA=0.15g M=5.8
![Page 13: Www.HaywardBaker.com Ground Modification for Liquefaction Mitigation January 11, 2013 Kansas City, MO Tanner Blackburn, Ph.D., P.E. Assistant Chief Engineer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cb75503460f9497d367/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example (cont’d)
CSR = (0.65)(0.15)(1800/1176)(0.97)
CSR = 0.15
Using NCEER figure for (N1)60= 10: CRR=0.11
MSF ≈2 FS = MSF*(CRR/CSR) =
2*(0.11/0.15) = 1.47 Note the influence of MSF!

Liquefaction – Lateral Spreading
Lateral spreading can occur in gradual slopes (<2°)
Must design for static and dynamic driving forces with residual undrained shear strengths Even for cohesionless materials

Liquefaction Mitigation
Increase strength ( CRR) Ground improvement (densification or grouting)
Decrease driving stress ( CSR) Shear reinforcement with ‘stiffer’ elements within
soil mass
Decrease excess pore pressure quickly Reduce drainage path distance with tightly
spaced drains
![Page 19: Www.HaywardBaker.com Ground Modification for Liquefaction Mitigation January 11, 2013 Kansas City, MO Tanner Blackburn, Ph.D., P.E. Assistant Chief Engineer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cb75503460f9497d367/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mitigation - Densification
Increase cyclic shear strength (CRR) by increasing relative density of cohesionless materials
Advantages: Field Verifiable!
Conduct field testing before and after treatment Employed for over 50 years, through several large magnitude
earthquakes. Several peer-reviewed documents describing the methods,
efficiency, and mechanics of densification. Approved by CA Office of Statewide Health Planning and
Development (OSHPD) for hospital and school construction.

Mitigation - Reinforcement Reduce cyclic shear stress
applied to liquefiable soil by installing ‘stiffer’ elements within soil matrix that attract stress.
Can be used in non-densifiable soils (silts, silty sands).
Large magnitude EQs Not verifiable
Post-installation CPT or SPT results will not differ from pre-installation.
Vertical load testing of elements is not applicable.

Reinforcement
Methods:· Deep soil mixing· Stone Columns
(aggregate piers)– New research
indicates this reinforcement effect is limited
· Jet Grouting
![Page 31: Www.HaywardBaker.com Ground Modification for Liquefaction Mitigation January 11, 2013 Kansas City, MO Tanner Blackburn, Ph.D., P.E. Assistant Chief Engineer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cb75503460f9497d367/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Mitigation - Reinforcement
Requires engineering judgment regarding input parameters
Is there a limit to the ‘inclusion’ stiffness? What is the deformation mechanism (bending or shear)? Is there a maximum spacing that should be used? If the soil liquefies around a stone column, what is the
strength of the stone column?
Few peer-reviewed publications or references regarding use and efficiency
Vendor/contractor ‘white-papers’ do not qualify as design standards or peer-reviewed methods
State-of-the-practice is developing
![Page 32: Www.HaywardBaker.com Ground Modification for Liquefaction Mitigation January 11, 2013 Kansas City, MO Tanner Blackburn, Ph.D., P.E. Assistant Chief Engineer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cb75503460f9497d367/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Liquefaction Mitigation-Reinforcement Example of required judgment:
Say we need KG=0.8, what ARR do we
need? Stone columns?

Conclusion – Soilcrete Grid per Boulanger, Elgamal et. al
DSM grids affect both:
· seismic site response (e.g., amax)
· seismic shear stress distributions (e.g. spatially averaged Rrd)
DSM grids on seismic site response can be significant and may require
site-specific FEM analyses
The reduction in seismic shear stresses by reinforcement can be
significantly over-estimated by current design methods that assume
shear strain compatibility.
A modified equation is proposed for estimating seismic shear stress
reduction effects. The modified equations account for non-compatible
shear strains and flexure in some wall panels.
The top 2m-3m of DSM wall could potentially be the critical wall section
in term of tension development.

Liquefaction Mitigation
Increase strength ( CRR) Ground improvement (densification or grouting)
Decrease driving stress ( CSR) Shear reinforcement with ‘stiffer’ elements within
soil mass
Decrease excess pore pressure quickly Reduce drainage path distance with tightly
spaced drains

Mitigation - Drainage Limit excess pore pressure increase and duration of
increased pore pressure during cyclic shearing by providing short drainage paths in cohesionless materials.
Not verifiable with in situ testing Limited peer-reviewed publications or design standards.
Methods: EQ Drains – perforated pipe installed on tight grid Stone columns – additional feature, but not relied on for
design Permeability of stone column material Contamination with outside material.

Assume periodic wave form
• Change in PP per cycle depends on PP of previous cycle
• NL based on CSR of soil, SPT, Fines
• Neq, td are functions of earthquake, but there are correlations to magnitude

EQ Drain Design Graphical solutions to diff equation (JGS):
· Address drain size, well resistance· Provides Ru, but no settlement calculations
FEQDrain – Finite Element software program· Provides Ru and settlement calculations
Both methods need the following:· Soil permeability, kh
· Soil compressibility, mv,
· Earthquake duration, td
· Number of earthquake cycles, Neq
· Drain spacing (trial values)
