Settlements hazard of soil due to liquefaction along Tabriz Metro line 2
Abstract
After
the occurrence of liquefaction due to earthquake, the settlement of soil layers
damage to structures located on the ground or the underground. In the last
two decades, different experimental methods were used to determine the rate of
volumetric strain (settlement) and maximum
shear strain based on field and laboratory test data. The main purpose of the
present study is the evaluation of the rate of settlement after the occurrence
of liquefaction in soils and study relationship between liquefaction potential
index (LPI) and settlement. The results of the standard resistance penetration
test along Tabriz Metro Line 2 used to estimate the liquefaction potential of
soil layers in 54 boreholes. Then, the value of settlement in soil
layers due to liquefaction in both dry and saturated soil layers were
evaluated. In continue, LPI was calculated. The
results of this study showed that the rate of settlement in saturated soil
layers was remarkably higher than the layers above the underground water level
and with an increase in the density of the soil layers, the rate of settlement
and soil volumetric strain decreased. Also, there is a good adoption between LPI
and settlement values in soil layers.
