Evaluating Liquefaction Potential using OCDI and Robertson Wride Methods in Parts of Bandar Abbas’ Shahid Rajaei Port

Abstract

In this paper, in addition to using the results of SPT and CPT tests performed at two different points of the site for Shahid Rajaei Port Development Project and using OCDI and Robertson and Wride methods, liquefaction potential of the area is evaluated. For this evaluation, earthquake magnitude and acceleration were considered to be 7 and 0.37g, respectively. Comparing the results of this evaluation, we found that with such incentive, the soil of this region has liquefaction. Thus, it is necessary that a suitable method be provided to enhance the soil of the project region. Given the fact that in previous phases, dynamic operations have been used for soil treatment and required equipment are available in laboratory, it is recommended that dynamic compression be used.
