Liquefaction: Choose A Correct Value For in Order To Have LIQUEFACTION ZONE at Least 3 M Length and Maximum 6 M

1. This document contains a problem set analyzing liquefaction from an earthquake. It provides soil properties including unit weight, mean particle size, and maximum acceleration. 2. Calculations are shown to determine the cyclic stress ratio at various depths from the surface down to 18 meters for a range of maximum accelerations. 3. The results indicate that for a maximum acceleration of 45%, liquefaction is predicted to occur between depths of 6.85 meters and 11.56 meters, forming a liquefaction zone of 4.71 meters.
