Working Paper F
Liquefaction and Landslides
LIQUEFACTION
As applied to seismic problems, liquefaction has become a catch-
all word referring to various types of earthquake-caused failures of
saturated cohesionless soils. Four different Manifestions of liquefac-
tion have been identified (National Research Council, 1985~:
1. Flow slides from slopes.
2. Loss of foundation bearing capacity, leading to large settle-
ment author tilting of structures.
3. Lateral spreading, that is, a movement of gradually sloping
ground toward low points.
4. Ground oscillation, where ground overlying saturated sand
breaks up into jostling "plates.
All of these phenomena may be accompanied by sand boils small
volcanoe-like mounds or craterlets from which sand and water spurt
to the surface.
The first two manifestations of liquefaction are dramatic but
less common. When they do occur, there is considerable potential
for damage and, in the case of flow slides, for loss of life. Flow
slides may occur in natural ground, but are also likely in man-made
deposits, such as earth dams, mine tailings darns, and fill placed
behind waterfront retaining structures.

The remaining manifestations are less spectacular but much
more common. Lateral spreading frequently disrupts pipelines,
roads, railways, and canals, and if occurring beneath a structure,
can cause extensive damage and even loss of life. Ground oscillation
and associated sand boils can present an enormous clean-up problem
if they occur in a built-up area. If accompanied by ground settlement,
damage and disruption can also occur.
All aspects of seismic liquefaction have been reviewed and dis-
cussed in a major report (National Research Council, 1986~. It is
important, for the subsequent discussion, to distinguish two situa-
tions:
. Level ground where no shear stresses are required for equilib-
rium following an earthquake.
. Slopes (which include building foundations) where shear
stresses are required for static equilibrium.
Ground with a very gentle slope (< 5°) may, depending on the
circumstances, fall into either situation.
Liquefaction Susceptibility
A range of criteria and methods exists for evaluating the sus-
ceptibility of a soil to liquefaction as a result of earthquake ground
shaking. The simplest method considers just two factors: the geo-
logic age of the deposit and the depth to the water table. Table F-1
presents such a set of criteria from Youd et al. (1978~. Other exam-
ples appear in ATC-13 (Applied Technology Council, 1985~. These
ratings are based on observations and experience during actual earth-
quakes, and rate the susceptibility of a soil deposit as a whole. Only
portions of a deposit would actually experience liquefaction.
In Table F-1, latest Holocene refers to the most recent 1,000
years, with the earlier Holocene extending back to 10,000 years.
Experience suggests that deposits older than about 130,000 years will
not liquefy. As indicated, the depth of the water table is also a very
important factor. The information in Table F-1 is directly useful for
preparing liquefaction hazard maps. A procedure for combining this
information with the expected ground-shaking hazard is described
by Youd and Perkins (1978~.
A more quantitative method for assessing liquefaction suscepti-
bility makes use of penetration resistance as measured by the Stan-
dard Penetration Test (SPT). In Figure F-1, the horizontal axis is
the blow count in the SPT, corrected for the depth at which the blow

count is recorded and the energy delivered to the drib rods when per-
form~ng the test. The vertical axis is the ratio of the dynamic stress
occurring during an earthquake to the vertical elective overburden
stress in the soil. The dynamic stress is commonly computed from a
simple expression involving the peak acceleration at ground surface
and the unit weight of the soil. The data points on the plot represent
actual observations during earthquakes, and a curve has been drawn
separating cases of liquefaction from those where no liquefaction was
observed. If a new situation is represented by a point plotting above
this curve, liquefaction is to be expected.
The data in Figure F-1 apply for an earthquake with a mag-
nitude of 6.5. Corresponding curves have been developed for other
magnitudes (see Figure F-2~: the larger the magnitude, the greater
the duration of shaking and hence the greater the susceptibility to
liquefaction for a given (Nl)60 and Tab/ a'. These figures apply for
clean sands; relations for taking into account the influence of fines
have also been developed.
It is unlikely that a program of penetration tests would be under-
taken in connection with a large-scale loss estimation study. However,
data from previously drilled borings can be used to evaluate the liq-
uefaction susceptibility of deposits in a study area and thus serve as
a basis for preparing liquefaction hazard maps.
Other and more sophisticated methods for evaluating liquefac-
tion susceptibility have also been developed. There are more precise
techniques for measuring penetration resistance, such as the Cone
Penetration Test (CPT). If very good undisturbed samples can be
obtained, various types of laboratory tests can be done. Theoretical

evaluating specific sites or particular earth structures (e.g., earth

Consequences of Liquefaction
Methods for evaluating liquefaction susceptibility are essentially
determunistic in nature, and do not indicate directly how likely
liquefaction might be during an event of given intensity nor how
widespread liquefaction might be over a given deposit. Furthermore,
the methods are based heavily on observations as to the occurrence
OCR for page 195
200
or nonoccurrence of some manifestation of liquefaction, without ref-
erence to the severity of the occurrences. Indeed, it is possible, even
likely, that liquefaction actually occurred beneath the surface in some
of the cases identified as "no liquefaction," but these liquefactions did
not appear at the surface of the ground. Ishihara (1985) has shown
that the thicknesses of a liquefying layer and of an overlying nonliq-
uefiable layer both affect the likelihood that liquefaction is observer!
at the surface; Figure F-3 provides initial guidance in this matter.
The ATC-13 report gives a ground probability failure matrix,
reproduced here as Table F-2, based on expert opinion. The matrix
obviously is oriented to situations in California, but for comparable
soils should also apply elsewhere. Liso et al. (1988) performed a
detailed statistical analysis of the case studies upon which Figure
F-1 is based. It was concluded that the boundary curve in Figure
F-1 might correspond to about 50 percent probability of liquefac-
tion. This study also provided curves for estimating the probability
of liquefaction for a point falling at any point of a raV/a' versus
(N~60 diagram. However, these several results still do not get at the
questions of how widespread and damaging liquefaction may be for
a given deposit.
In the ATC-13 report, some very scant data are cited to the effect
that damage to buildings on poor ground (such as liquefiable sand)
is 5 to 10 times greater than damage to buildings on firm ground,
for the same intensity of ground motion. Thus, for facilities on the
surface, the ATC report proposes to evaluate a mean damage ratio
(MDR) as:
MDRgrour~d = MDRfirm ground X PtL] X 5,
where PtL] is the probability of liquefaction for the deposit of interest.
For buried structures (e.g., pipelines), the ATC report proposes using
a factor of 10.
Youd and Perkins (1987) introduce the concept of a liquefaction
severity index (LSI). They relate LSI to the extent and magnitude
of movements and other manifestations of liquefaction that can be
expected; their descriptions are reproduced in Table F-3. They also
propose an equation relating LST to the magnitude and epicentral
distance for an earthquake. However, this equation is applicable only
for late Holocene floodplains and deltas associated with rivers having
channel widths greater than 10 meters and for seismic conditions in
California and Alaska. Thus the method is not directly applicable
to other parts of the country. In addition, the method still leaves

deaths and billions of doDars of losses worldwide in this century. In
many earthquakes the resulting landslides have caused as much or
more damage than the other effects of ground shaking. Over half
of the damage caused by the 1964 Alaska earthquake was the result
of landslicles. In Japan, of the deaths caused by large earthquakes
since 1964, more than half have been attributed to landslides. In an
earthquake in the Peruvian Andes in 1970, an avalanche was triggered
that buried two cities and killed at least 20,000 people. The 1987
earthquake in Ecuador caused landslides that clogged rivers and
destroyed sections of the trans-Andean of} pipeline.
In 1959, the Hebgen Lake, Montana earthquake set off a mam-
moth landslide that dammed the Madison River. Major efforts were
made to reduce the possibility of rapid erosion when this natural
dam was overtopped, to prevent catastrophic downstream flooding.
The 1971 San Fernando earthquake caused very damaging slides in
earth dams and structural earthfi~] in the western part of the San
Fernando Valley most of which were associated with liquefaction.
In addition there were several hundred rockfalIs, soil falls, and de-
bris flows that caused considerable damage to highways and roads.
Blockage of roads is a common occurrence whenever earthquakes
shape steep terrain.

matrices reproduced in Table F-6. Each box in this table represents
a different degree of inherent stability for a slope, characterized nu-
merically by the yield acceleration, ac, at which movement starts.
The slope failure states (SFS) relate, in a probabilistic manner, land-
slide displacement to shaking intensity as a function of initial slope
stability. The matrices are for dry summer conditions in California;

for applying to a wet season it is recommended that the ~fM! be in-
creased by one unit. Yield acceleration has been used in conjunction
with a Newmark (1965) analysis to prepare a regional map of seismi-
cally induced landslide susceptibility as a function of bedrock type,
slope steepness, and seasonal groundwater-leve! conditions (Wiec-
zorek et al., 1985~.
Going a step further, ATC also used expert opinion to relate
landslide severity (i.e., SES) to the mean damage ratio (MDR) at
affected facilities (see Table F-7~. Thus, the mean damage ratio from
landslides is:
MDRL,s = As, PtSFS] x CDF~s,
SFS
where PtSFS] comes from Table F-6, the central damage factor
CDF~s is from Table F-7, and the products are summed over all
slope stability states.
This ATC method is logically sound, but at this stage it involves
considerable judgment and has not yet been tested for an actual
large-scale study.
Mapping Landslide Hazards
During the Bay Area Project of the 1970s, a landslide hazard
map was developed for the San Francisco Bay Area (Nilsen and
Wright, 19793. The indicated hazardous areas were identified on the
basis of evidence of past sliding (not necessarily during earthquakes)
and topography.
Wieczorek et al. (1985) produced a map of earthqual~e-caused
landslide susceptibility for one of the San Francisco Bay Area coun-
ties. In this approach, the nonseismic data needed are: maps showing
the distribution of geologic materials; estunates of the wet and dry
strength characteristics of each of the age or stratigraphic cIassifi-
cations obtained from the geologic maps; estimates of wet and dry
season depths to saturated soil; and maps showing topography, with
the contour intervals assigned to one of six percentage slope ranges.
These geologic-based susceptibility data are then combined with
a consideration of ground motion. Faults capable of producing suffi-
cient motion to cause slides are identified. (Because the map was in-
tended to serve several purposes rather than being tied to a scenario-
based disaster response planning study, the effects of the different
earthquakes were not plotted discretely on the final map.) Several

historic earthquake records are adapted to represent the size of earth-
quake assigned to each fault. Simple slope stability analysis is used to
determine the yield or critical acceleration, ac, necessary to overcome
slope equilibrium.
The severity of the slide, in terms of the amount of displacement,
is then computed using the method of Newman (1965) as adapted by
Wilson and Keefer (1983), which accounts for the way in which suc-
cessive accelerations of critical or greater size act over time, against
the restraining influence of friction, to move the slide downhill.
The results are displayed on a map and divide the study area
into high, moderate, low, and very low earthquake-caused landslide
hazard zones. Liquefaction was beyond the scope of this method, but
liquefaction susceptibility was also plotted on the same map from the
work of Youd and Perkins (1985~. The four descriptive landslide sus-
ceptibility categories are defined quantitatively in terms of predicted
movement, relative to a benchmark amount of displacement of 5 cm
(2 in.~. This was considered a conservative estimate of the threshold
of movement causing major damage to average building foundation
conditions, based on Youd (1980~. The other factor determining
the assignment of a site into one of the four zones was the critical
acceleration causing the movement.
For each of these four levels of susceptibility, an estimate is
provided of the percentage of the area of that zone that would fait
when the presumed earthquake occurs. This estimate of the extent
of failure within each landslide zone is derived from Youd (19803.

Figure F-4 shows the maximum distance of several types of
landslides ~ a function of magnitude and was assembled by Wil-
son and Keefer (1985) U8=g data from California. These authors
also used Newmark's sliding block theory to relate the likelihood
of slides to the intensity of ground motions, and produced a map
(see Figure F-5) giving the probability of coherent slides (in either
hilly terram or saturated soils) for a magnitude 6.5 earthquake on
the Newport-Inglewood fault. This type of mapping is still in the
developmental stage, and does depend heavily on historical data con-
cerning earthquake-induced landslides. However, the work points the
way to the type of analysts that can be used for mapping landslide
hazards.
