Seismic Information
Data provided on this page is only used in NovoLIQ and NovoCPT programs, in order to carry out soil liquefaction analysis as well as estimating the post-liquefaction lateral spreading of the site:
Seismic InfoEarthquake magnitude and distance from fault will be used for estimation of magnitude scaling factor (MSF) and lateral spreading. User can use a constant or a variable (vs. depth) Cyclic Stress Ration (CSR). To enter variable CSR dataset, choose "user-defined data" option from the list and click on ... button next to the list to enter data. You can import data from a comma or tab delimited text file. TopographyUser defines the ground surface topography used for estimation of lateral spreading of the site (gently sloped / free face). Post-Liquefaction ParametersFor post-liquefaction lateral spreading and re-consolidation settlement estimation, user can choose to ignore the effect of post-liquefaction below a certain depth. The residual friction angle is used for estimation of post-liquefaction residual strength (Sr). |
