Evidence of soil liquefaction was observed ina site located in the vicinity of<br>Boumerdes. The results of traditional analysis of soil liquefaction potential using simplified procedures are<br>usually presented in terms of safetyfactor. However, these methods do not take into account inherent<br>variability which is expressed in terms of liquefaction probability related to safety factors. An answer to this<br>problem can be found by reliability analysis. In this study, a practical reliability based method is used for<br>assessing the soil liquefaction potential. As an application, the Boumerdes region belongs to the Tell Atlas<br>thrust of Algeria is investigated for liquefaction potential. The investigated are based on in situ tests in which<br>the results of SPT are analyzed.It was found that even with a safety factor of 1.34, the soil still has a<br>liquefaction probability about 30.85% for the given design earthquake.<br>Keywords: Soil Liquefaction, Reliability analysis; SPT</p>}, number={22}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Benahchilif Souad and Zendagui Djawad}, year={2017}, month={Feb.}, pages={2002–2006} }
