Liquefazione – Grain size is a cutting-edge cloud application by Geoapp Geostru, specifically engineered for the advanced assessment of soil liquefaction potential. Its name highlights the essential synergy between seismic risk and soil texture: by integrating laboratory grain size data with the latest mathematical models, it provides a rigorous evaluation of saturated soil stability.
Key Features of the Application
The software guides geotechnical professionals through a precise and streamlined workflow:
-
Advanced Grain size Integration: The app allows users to input specific grain size parameters—such as the D
50mean grain size and the percentage of fines—to accurately calculate the cyclic resistance of the soil. -
Comprehensive Test Support: It supports data from both Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) and Cone Penetration Tests (CPT/CPTU), cross-referencing these results with the site’s grain size properties.
-
Leading Calculation Methods: The tool implements the most recognized international methodologies, including Idriss & Boulanger (2008-2014) and Robertson, ensuring full compliance with Eurocode 8 and other global standards.
-
Seismic Risk Quantification: Instantly calculates the Factor of Safety (Fs) and the Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI), offering a quantitative measure of expected surface damage severity.
Why Choose Liquefaction – Grain size?
Efficiency is at the core of this tool. By operating entirely in a cloud environment, Liquefaction – Grain size eliminates the need for complex software installations. Engineers can run a complete analysis starting from the grain size data directly from the field or the office.
The intuitive interface reduces calculation time and minimizes human error, allowing for the rapid generation of professional charts and technical reports ready for inclusion in geotechnical dossiers.
