Comparison between Japanese and North American method for
liquefaction assessment
Kanto Gakuin UniversityNozomu YOSHIDA
Introduction
What method do you use for liquefaction evaluation to average engineer? Japan: e.g. Design specification of Highway bridge U.S.: e.g. Technical paper by Seed 1971
►North American engineer studies more than Japanese engineer
►NSF Workshop in 1996 and 1998
Technical report NCEER-97-0022,Youd, T. L. etc., Journal of GT, Vol. 127, No. 10
Basic standpoint
North America United Engineers
►NSF Workshop Study and think
►Unsuggested (not recommended) issues
Japan Going my way
►Many design specifications Do not think or consider
►Everything is written◆ Do as written following the specification►Poor engineer education system
Highway bridge, Building foundation, Port facilities, Railway structures
Japanese academic system
Architectural Institute of Japan Architect Building engineer
Japan Society of Civil Engineers Road Airport and port Railway Dam .........
Governmental office Responsible only what they handles
►Do not like to follow outside organization
Why many specifications
When damage occurs, who is responsible? Japan
Engineer: I calculated following the design specification, therefore I am not responsible
Governmental office: I made it under the assistance of academic expert, therefore it is unexpected.
North America Sued by a customer?
►Moss Landing Marine Research Institute◆ damaged during 1989 eq.
Therefore, everything is to be written in the design specification. Otherwise somebody judged it resulting in responsibility
Compared specifications NSF workshop recommendation Highway bridge and Building foundation
Hwy. and Bulg.
Job or volunteer If job, revised on a periodic basis
Highway bridge by Public Work Research Institute If volunteer, may not revised without
something happen Building foundation
►1995 Kobe earthquake (Large ground shaking)►2011 Tohoku earthquake (Long duration)
Standard Penetration test
Turkey, Philippines Half of Japan
Recent auto or semi-auto machine Cone pulley: 63~73%
►With special care: 80~90% Semi automatic: 84% (average) Full automatic: 81% (Average)
ISO22476-3 Energy correction with measurement method
JIS A 1219(2013) No description, therefore no measurement method 8

Consider only Magnitude and other factor such as area, duration, fault mechanism is difficult. Conservative side
►Not a big issue in the liquefied site Use Moment magnitude, Mw
PGA when liquefaction does not occur►Empirical equation considering earthquake magnitude,
focal distance, site condition, etc.►If empirical eq. is not available, seismic response analysis
such as SHAKE and DESRA►Use amplification factor to be multiplied to PGA at the
engineering seismic base layer◆ Require highly engineering judgement
2 directional components►geometric mean, but larger value is conservative
High frequency component (Period<0.1 s)►Spiky wave does not cause displacement because of short
active time, therefore neglect►High frequency component is attenuated in SHAKE and
DESRA►When using amplification factor, choice of frequency
range is important

►Affected by various factors◆ Some of them is not clear◆ Affected by local ground condition If liquefied, earthquake motion does not propagate to
the ground surface►Target is horizontally layered deposit, but important is
the case with structure exists►Proposed method gives rough indication►THEN, PGA recorded during past earthquakes is relevant◆ 200 cm/s2

the ground conditions.►Damage limit: 150~200 cm/s2
►Ultimate limit: 350cm/s2◆ PGA at Port Island during the 1995 Kobe eq.

Tokyo Bay area: Old fill / natural deposit Many no liq. site although FL≤1 Fill after 1945 liquefy There is no clear difference between borehole data
between liq. and no liq. sites Tone River area
FL is relatively large in the liquefied sites Thin thickness in case FL≤1 41

Concluding remarks
Same framework, but different definition Liquefaction strength
Average or boundary►If average, half of them is in critical side!◆ Result was conservative, Why?
Parameters SPT N-value, overburden stress, fines contents
►Is those sufficient? No!◆ What are other parameters? Aging, Kα, ....
