| Abstract | The information and record from a slope failure case
which occurred in Noshiro, Central Japan 1983, during an
earthquake of M = 7. 7 in magnitude were collected. The
collected diagrammatical data of permanent ground
displacements were converted into numerical data by scaling
interpretation.
Statistical analysis including linear regression and nonlinear regression of the collected data were carried out by
S. A. S. package. It is found that the distance between the
shifted site-investigation point and the fixed-boundary point
is the most essential parameter for the prediction of the
permanent displacement of ground caused by liquefaction.
The empirical equation based on the results of
statistical analysis for the prediction of permanent ground
displacement was developed. The accuracy of permanent ground
displacement predicted by this equation is verified and
reliable for practical purpose. Moreover the application of
this empirical equation for a preliminary analysis over a
large area is simple and economic. |
