Liquefaction Analysis of Taramandal Area in Gorakhpur City

Liquefaction is defined as the strength and stiffness of soil is decrease by earthquake shaking or other sudden loading due to increment of pore water pressure. Liquefaction is main effects of an earthquake which is responsible for failure of structures, damages of roads, water retained structure such as dams etc. This project report is provides knowledge and ideas about liquefaction of soil. In this paper, some methods have been studied, empirical method of calculation of soil is liquefaction potential based method for analysis of soil liquefaction. Liquefaction analysis of Taramandal area using these three method and compare the factor of safety (FOS) obtained in the liquefaction analysis. A comparative study has been done using all above mentioned methods and using Geotechnical data (such as:- Depth, Soil type, SPT-N value, Grain size, Density, Depth of water table, etc.) and Seismic or Earthquake data (such as: - Magnitude of earthquake and Maximum horizontal acceleration).
