摘要

Gravelly soils were traditionally considered either non-susceptible or significantly more resistant to seismic liquefaction due to their typically denser depositional characteristics and/or their enhanced capacity to dissipate excess pore water pressures. As a result, their liquefaction initiation assessments were occasionally overlooked. However, case histories starting with as early as the 1891 Mino-Owari (Japan, M7.9) and followed by events including the 1983 Borah Peak-U.S.A. M7.3, 1995 Kobe-Japan M7.2, 2008 Wenchuan-China M7.9, and 2016 Kaikoura-New Zealand M7.8, 2023 Kahramanmaras-Turkiye M7.8, have demonstrated that they can undergo significant reductions in shear strength and stiffness as a result of liquefaction. With the intent of developing liquefaction triggering models, a database consisting of 215 gravelly case histories, 99 liquefied and 116 non-liquefied, was compiled. Dynamic Cone Penetration (DPT) blow counts or shear wave velocity ( \({V_S}\) ) along with median grain size ( \({D_{50}}\) ) were utilized as resistance, whereas cyclic resistance ratio ( \(CSR\) ), earthquake moment magnitude ( \({M_w}\) ) and vertical effective stress ( \(\sigma _v^\prime\) ) as the demand parameters of probability-based liquefaction triggering predictive models. The resulting models incorporate adjustments for variability in a) earthquake duration, b) vertical effective stress, and c) median grain size.
