LIQUEFACTION HAZARD MAPPING

Abstract

The study of Mapping of Liquefaction Potential Zonation involves many Geological, Geo-Hydrological, Geo-Morphological, Strength Parameters and Seismic Parameters. The detailed analysis for mapping covers all the above conditions and parameters as deciding factors. An effort has been made to produce realistic and detailed mapping based on all the parameters and details available. This is been very prelim study and mapping still requires finer analysis by adding more data. The work is been extended to smaller area and shall be extended to cover larger area of the study area. The Macro level of investigation is an overlook to the Liquefaction Susceptibility. While, the Micro level of investigation provides the preliminary Liquefaction Potentiality. Further, the liquefaction potentiality thus identified shall be analyzed with respect to the area specific strength characteristic and seismic activity.
