Abstract

Probabilistic liquefaction hazard map is now widely needed for engineering practice. Based on the Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI) calculated from liquefied and non-liquefied cases, we attempted to estimate probabilities of liquefaction induced ground failures using logistic regression. We then applied this approach for the regional area. LPIs were calculated based on 273 Standard Penetration Tests in the floodplains in the St. Louis area, USA and then interpolated using cokriging with the covariable of peak ground acceleration. Our result shows that some areas of $LPI{\geq}5$, due to soft soil layers and shallow groundwater table, appear probabilities of ground $failure{\geq}0.5$.

공학적 측면에서 확률론적 액상화 재해 작성법이 점차 요구됨에 따라, 본 연구에서는 실제 액상화 피해 현장의 액상화 가능 지수(Liquefaction Potential Index, LPI)를 이용한 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 액상화 피해 확률을 예측하였다. 또한 이 분석을 바탕으로 광역지역의 액상화 재해도 기법을 제시하였다. 사례 연구로서 미국 세인트루이스 지역 홍수평야의 표준관입시험(273 곳) 결과를 대상으로 LPI를 산정하였고 최대지반가속도를 코크리깅의 이차변수로 적용하여 보간하였다. 연구결과, 일부 구역에서 연약지반과 얕은 지하수위로 인해 LPI 값이 5이상으로 나타나, 액상화로 인한 지반 피해 확률이 0.5 이상으로 예측되었다.
