WSDOT Wsliq 1.0

Wsliq software is used in the field of soil liquefaction analysis, which was provided by Washington University researchers to analyze and evaluate risks caused by liquefaction.

One of the most important phenomena that causes the failure of structures built on loose, saturated sandy soils during an earthquake is the sudden decrease in soil shear strength or the so-called liquefaction. Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the soil resistance It decreases many times.

This phenomenon mostly happens in loose and saturated sandy soils due to dynamic or static loads and in undrained conditions The importance of the phenomenon of liquefaction in the direct and indirect increase in damage caused by earthquakes in different parts of the world has made it necessary to conduct a lot of research to identify and deal .with the effects of this phenomenon. Provided by researchers.

This software consists of different models and liquefaction analysis methods that examines the potential of liquefaction initiation and its effects.

The main parts of WSliq software

Soil profile section and soil profile chart drawing: In this section, information related to the number of layers, the level of underground water and the characteristics of the layers, including layer thickness, layer specific weight, standard penetration number, etc., are entered
Susceptiblity section: determination of liquefaction potential based on the presented models.
Intitiation section: predicting the beginning of liquefaction based on the presented methods according to the maximum acceleration and magnitude of the earthquake
Effects section: review and evaluation of effects caused by liquefaction
