The study of risk assessment of soil liquefaction on land development and utilization in Taiwan

Abstract

Assessment of soil liquefaction potential has been widely investigated; however, no integrated method has compared the factors of vulnerability to soil liquefaction and resilience capacity between regions to assess the risk of soil liquefaction. This study selects Yunlin and Chiayi county as a demonstration area, and uses Model Builder of geo-processing models to connect multiple analysis processes, the liquefaction risk distribution in Yun-Chia Plain's area is carried out in 100m x 100m grid map scale. The study results could provide the reference of land development and management in Taiwan.
