Abstract
Statistical analysis using a discriminant model is applied to 399 cone penetration test (CPT) data sets of both liquefaction and nonliquefaction cases, including 174 sets from the Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan and 225 sets of synthesized data. The discriminant model employed is a multivariate statistical method. In situ testing results of cone tip resistance and sleeve friction ratio are adopted as the major parameters for analyses. A model for evaluating liquefaction potential using CPT- data is also established in this study, which allows calculated results to be compared with the empirical curves.
