Certain soil conditions, such as loose saturated sand, pose a significant risk of liquefaction during seismic events. Liquefaction occurs when saturated soils lose their strength and stiffness due to increased pore water pressure during earthquakes, leading to potentially devastating consequences for structures and developments. At ECO Geotechnical Ltd., we prioritize the thorough assessment of liquefaction potential to safeguard against such risks and ensure the resilience of proposed developments.
We utilize advanced methodologies to assess site liquefaction potential, considering factors such as settlement and lateral spreading that can impact the stability of structures. We employ cutting-edge approaches, including those pioneered by leading researchers such as Boulanger & Idriss (2014), Robertson & Wride (2009), and Idriss & Boulanger (2008), to evaluate liquefaction triggering and its potential effects on proposed developments. Based on our rigorous analysis, we provide tailored recommendations to mitigate the adverse effects of liquefaction, enhancing the safety and longevity of your project.
