ISO 17892-16 Liquefaction Potential Assessment
The ISO 17892-16 standard provides a method for assessing the potential of soil to liquefy during an earthquake. This service is crucial in building and infrastructure testing, particularly where structures are located on alluvial or other loose soils that may experience significant shear stress under seismic loading conditions.
Understanding liquefaction is vital as it can lead to severe structural damage if not properly addressed. The assessment involves determining the soil’s sensitivity index (S.I.), which measures the soil's potential to liquefy, and evaluating the critical stress ratio (CSR), a key indicator of whether the soil will liquefy under seismic loading.
Our team follows this method precisely using advanced laboratory equipment such as cyclic shear vane testing (CSV) systems. This allows us to simulate in-situ conditions accurately, ensuring reliable results that can inform design decisions and mitigate risks associated with seismic events.
The importance of this service extends beyond theoretical considerations; it has real-world implications for the safety and integrity of infrastructure projects. For instance, in areas prone to earthquakes like California or Japan, accurate liquefaction potential assessments are critical components in the planning stages of new construction projects.
