Full-featured versions of CLiq v.3.0 (CPT soil liquefaction software) and LiqSVs 2.0 (SPT & Vs liquefaction analysis software) included for one year<\/p>\n
Since the 6th of February 2023, several strong earthquakes have shaken Turkey and Syria, followed by thousands of smaller aftershocks with a death toll of over 50,000 people and direct physical economic damage of up to US$ 100 billion. An initial assessment using Remote Sensing technology shows widespread seismic soil liquefaction and lateral spreading due to the earthquakes. The total area significantly affected by seismic soil liquefaction and its consequences is assessed by USGS to be about 1,000 km2<\/sup>, close to the area of the country Hong Kong and larger than 3 times the area of country Malta. On the other hand, an assessment by LIQUEFACT Project indicates that soil liquefaction has been directly responsible for about 50% of the earthquake-induced damage in Europe, with a value of about 15 billion Euros only in the past decade.<\/p>\n Seismic liquefaction of soils due to earthquake and its consequences including ground settlement, tilting and collapse of buildings due to loss of ground bearing capacity, lateral spreading and Flow failure, landslides, debris flow, fire, and failure of slopes and earthfill dams, and levees (flood protection stop banks) leading to flooding are important types of geohazards and occur in many countries causing minor to extensive damage to infrastructure, buildings, underground and aboveground lifelines like water and gas pipelines, sewerage networks and power transmission systems.<\/p>\n Liquefaction has been observed in earthquakes for many years. However, the Niigata earthquake in Japan and the Alaska earthquake both in 1964, brought the liquefaction phenomenon and its devastating effects to the attention of engineers, geologists, and seismologists. In fact, it is a young field in engineering and is advancing quickly with many research projects being performed all over the world and observations made in real earthquakes.<\/p>\n This online course initially starts by providing the participants with a sound understanding of the engineering principles and latest advances in liquefaction and lateral spreading phenomena and their engineering aspects. However, the main focus of the course will be on the practical training of participants for the analysis of liquefaction and lateral spreading using simple empirical and semi-empirical methods and the very well-known commercial software CLiq<\/em> and LiqSVs<\/em> that use CPT and SPT tests data performed at the site of interest.<\/p>\n Throughout the course and for a long period after the course, the participants will have access to fully functional licenses of both software, and the opportunity to practice their newly acquired or updated knowledge of liquefaction phenomena with hands-on exercises including examples from real sites and earthquakes.<\/p>\n This online course is carefully designed to provide engineering professionals, researchers, and university students in the fields of geotechnical, civil, structural, and earthquake engineering, geology, and engineering geology with the most updated liquefaction engineering knowledge and practical capability to analyze the liquefaction potential in different soils, sites, and earthquake conditions, and related free-field settlements, lateral spreading and settlement of buildings using CPT and SPT test data and practical application of CLiq and LiqVs software for this purpose.<\/p>\n Although most software come with manuals and Help for users, these documents are sometimes not comprehensive and updated and don\u2019t cover all of the limitations of the software and also the limitations of the different methods the software uses for the analysis. Using geotechnical engineering software without being well aware of their limitations, specifically for seismic soil liquefaction and lateral spreading analysis which is naturally a highly complex task can be quite misleading and sometimes disastrous. Therefore, this course, after providing the general updated knowledge on the topic and common practice in using the software, will not suffice to explain the user manuals of CLiq and LiqSVs software, but will specifically focus on clarifying the less noticed but extremely important points in using the software not mentioned in their manuals. These include their limitations and dilemmas, tricks and methods to use the software correctly and reliably, as well as the methods for sanity-checking of the software results.<\/p>\n The main objective of the course is to train the participants to become specialists in the practical and realistic analysis of liquefaction, settlements, and lateral spreading by using correctly and effectively CLiq and LiqVs software. In this course, the instructor not only shows you the right way to understand the liquefaction phenomena and use the software but also gets your hand and comes with you step-by-step.
