Assessment of liquefaction potential based on peak ground motion parameters


Assessment of liquefaction potential based on peak ground motion parameters is a scholarly work by Rolando P. Orense, published in 2005 in ''Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering''. The main subjects of the publication include soil liquefaction, parametric statistics, seismology, seismic analysis, strong ground motion, Peak ground acceleration, scale, mechanically stabilized earth, acceleration, ground motion, geology, geotechnical engineering, and liquefaction. Moreover, analyses of several strong motion records at various sites show that liquefaction may occur when PGA≥150 gal and PGV≥20 kine, indicating that these values can serve as thresholds in assessing the possible occurrence of liquefaction.
