        Presenting a model specific to the city of Tabriz to estimate the liquefaction potential due to the region's seismicity and the high groundwater level can be effective in dealing with and predicting solutions to deal with this phenomenon. In recent years, the accumulation energy ratio (AER) as a parameter for estimating the liquefaction potential in the energy-based method proposed by Kokusho (2013) has been considered by many researchers. In this research, using perceptron multilayer (MLP) and radial base function (RBF) methods in artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic expression programming (GEP), the accumulation energy ratio using seismic and geotechnical data is modeled for the city of Tabriz. These modeling’s performed by all three methods are well consistent with the outputs. Still, the modeling performed using the Perceptron Multilayer (MLP) method is very compatible with the outputs and can estimate the results with an acceptable percentage. The relationship presented by genetic expression programming (GEP), which is trained with local data, can also yield satisfactory results from estimating the rate of accumulated energy in the study area and provided an independent and accessible relationship trained. With data specific to the study area, there is another advantage. پرونده مقاله

        As one of the significant phenomena in earthquake geotechnical engineering, liquefaction can cause severe damages. A number of factors play a role in the occurrence of liquefaction such as magnitude of earthquake, void ratio, relative density, and fines content percentage. The impact of building construction overburdens on liquefaction is of paramount importance. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effects of overburden resulting from building construction on liquefaction potential of saturating soil layers along Tabriz Metro Line 2. Fifty-four boreholes and geotechnical information were collected from the research site. Overburden values were considered to be 100 kPa, 200kPa, 300 KPa, and 400 KPa equivalents to 5-, 10-, 15-, and 30-story building, respectively. The assessment of liquefaction potential of soil layers was carried out using the standard penetration test (SPT) method. Furthermore, liquefaction potential index (LPI) of soil layers was evaluated. The findings demonstrated that overburden can affect liquefaction resistance of soil layers. With increasing overburden, safety factor against liquefaction became less than one in nearly 80% of soil layers. The rate of growth in LPI of boreholes in the research site was found to be roughly 70%. Hence, an increase in overburden elevated liquefaction hazards in the research site. پرونده مقاله

        3 - Evaluating the Liquefaction Potential of Soil in the South and Southeast of Tehran based on the Shear Wave Velocity through Empirical Relationships

        The liquefaction resistance of soil can be evaluated using laboratory tests such as cyclic simple shear, cyclic triaxial, cyclic torsional shear as well as field methods like Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and Shear Wave Velocity (Vs). In this regard, this study attempts to compare the results of the SPT based on the simplified procedure proposed by Seed and Idriss (1985) and those of the Vs on the basis of Andrus et al.’s (2004) process using empirical relationships between them. Iwasaki’s (1982) method is used to measure the liquefaction potential index for both of them. The study area is a part of the south and southeast of Tehran. It is observed that there is not a perfect agreement between the results of the two methods based on five empirical relationships assuming cemented and non-cemented condition for soils. Moreover, the liquefaction potential index (PL) value in the SPT method is more than that of the Vs method. پرونده مقاله
