In Situ Test Methods in Bachu-Jiashi Earthquake Liquefied Evaluation

The serious soil liquefaction phenomenon in Bachu-Jiashi earthquake on 24th February, 2003, which is the most prominent phenomena of sand liquefaction since the Tangshan Great Earthquake in 1976. Based on the earthquake liquefied investigation, inspect SPT and CPT applicability in situ tests. The results show that our country SPT specification and CPT specification of non-liquefied sites evaluation rate is higher than liquefied sites evaluation success rate, the liquefied sites evaluation rate are 88% and 88% respectively, but for liquefied sites evaluation rate are 38% and 55%. The result is tends to danger and the reason need further investigation, so establish a suitable liquefied prediction method should be to the future work in the local area.
