Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA) is the only state institute in Sumatera, specifically located in South Lampung region, which is a coastal area with dominant sandy soil type. It soil type can allow liquefaction. The purpose of the research is to analyze the mitigation potential of liquefaction with the deterministic method. It is expected that t...

Despite being a liquefaction susceptible zone, Kathmandu Valley soil in Nepal has limited studies on liquefaction potential and most of them are based on the deterministic approach. Although this method is widely used, it ignores the uncertainties of seismic parameters such as peak ground acceleration, a max, and earthquake magnitude, M w as well a...

In China, the required blow count is used to represent the effect of seismic loading, which can provide engineers an intuitive feeling about how much effort is needed to improve the soil if its liquefaction resistance is not adequate. A fundamental assumption in the Chinese seismic design code methods is depth consistency, i.e., the required blow c...
