Liquefaction of Soils : Causes Effects Evaluation Methods

The book "Liquefaction of Soils: Causes Effects Evaluation Methods" offers a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between soil and structure in the field of civil engineering, particularly in the context of earthquakes. It highlights the crucial role of understanding soil behavior, especially in large construction projects and investigations. A central theme is the prediction of the "Liquefaction Resistance" of soils, examining various evaluation methods and tools, particularly shear wave velocity (Vs). The study analyzes published correlations between Vs and other parameters, as well as the latest methods for assessing soil liquefaction potential. A case study from Jazan, Saudi Arabia, is used to discuss the findings and evaluate the effectiveness of the various methods.
