Spring Short Course - Soil Liquefaction during Earthquakes  Recent Developments
May 1, 2015

This one-day short course presents recent developments in the practical assessment of soil liquefaction during earthquakes.  The topics covered include: recent updates to SPT and CPT based liquefaction triggering procedures; emerging procedures for characterizing gravelly soils using an instrumented Becker Penetration Test (iBPT); updated correlations and testing guidance for evaluating cyclic softening of soft clays and plastic silts; calibration and use of the PM4S and constitutive model in nonlinear deformation analyses of liquefaction problems; recommended practices for site characterization and property selection for liquefaction analyses; and recent developments in ground improvement methods for liquefaction remediation. The course will be presented by Dr. Ross W. Boulanger (UC Davis), Dr. Jason T. DeJong (UC Davis) and Dr. I.M. Idriss (UC Davis).

Course attendees will be eligible to receive 0.7 Continuing Education Units (CEU) or 7 Professional Development Hours (PDH).
