Outline Introduction Liquefaction susceptibility Types of failure Remedial Measures Liquefaction resistant
structures
Introduction The Phenomenon, in which soil acts as a liquid
due to loss of shear strength, is known as “LIQUEFACTION”.
This type of phenomenon occurs mainly at the time of earthquakes..
Look Closer?
This is how it looks…
Liquefaction Susceptibility Soil type
Particle size and gradation
Initial relative density(ID)
Characteristics of Vibration
Age of Soil deposit
Types of Failure Cyclic Mobility Overturning Sand Boiling
Cyclic Mobility
Overturning
Sand Boiling
Remedial Measures Compaction Drainage Grouting Deep Foundation
Compaction
Drainage
Grouting In this method the soil is stabilized by injecting the chemical or
cement grout into the soil. The chemical reaction between the soil and chemical increases the cohesion consequently the shear strength of soil

Conclusion: Liquefaction is a seismic hazard that deserves attention in
design of new construction and evaluation of existing construction
Proper remedial measures should be followed in order to prevent the failure of structure due to liquefaction
