Abstract

Simplified techniques based on in situ testing methods are commonly used to assess seismic liquefaction potential. Many of these simplified methods were developed by analyzing liquefaction case histories from which the liquefaction boundary (limit state) separating two categories (the occurrence or non-occurrence of liquefaction) is determined. As the liquefaction classification problem is highly nonlinear in nature, it is difficult to develop a comprehensive model using conventional modeling techniques that take into consideration all the independent variables, such as the seismic and soil properties. In this chapter, a modification MARS approach based on logistic regression (LR) MARS_LR is used to evaluate seismic liquefaction potential based on actual field records. Three different MARS_LR models were used to analyze three different field liquefaction databases, and the results are compared with BPNN.
