| Abstract: | The performance-based liquefaction potential analysis was carried out in the present study to estimate the liquefaction return
period for Bangalore, India, through a probabilistic approach. In this approach, the entire range of peak ground acceleration
(PGA) and earthquake magnitudes was used in the evaluation of liquefaction return period. The seismic hazard analysis for
the study area was done using probabilistic approach to evaluate the peak horizontal acceleration at bed rock level. Based
on the results of the multichannel analysis of surface wave, it was found that the study area belonged to site class D. The
PGA values for the study area were evaluated for site class D by considering the local site effects. The soil resistance for
the study area was characterized using the standard penetration test (SPT) values obtained from 450 boreholes. These SPT data
along with the PGA values obtained from the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis were used to evaluate the liquefaction return
period for the study area. The contour plot showing the spatial variation of factor of safety against liquefaction and the
corrected SPT values required for preventing liquefaction for a return period of 475 years at depths of 3 and 6 m are presented
in this paper. The entire process of liquefaction potential evaluation, starting from collection of earthquake data, identifying
the seismic sources, evaluation of seismic hazard and the assessment of liquefaction return period were carried out, and the
entire analysis was done based on the probabilistic approach. |
