- Abstract
The determination of seismic liquefaction potential of soil is an important task in geotechnical engineering. This article uses Minimax Probability Machine (MPM) for determination of seismic liquefaction potential of soil based on Standard Penetration Test value (N). MPM is developed based on the use of hyperplanes. It is a discriminant classifier. This study uses MPM as a classification tool. MPM uses the database collected from Chi-Chi earthquake. Two models (MODEL I and MODEL II) have been developed. MODEL I uses Cyclic Stress Ratio and N as input variables. Peck Ground Acceleration and N have been adopted as inputs for MODEL II. The performance of MODEL I and MODEL II are 97.67 and 96.51 % respectively. The performance of MODEL II is 94.11 % for the global data. The developed MPM shows good generalization capability. The results show that the developed MPM has ability for determination of seismic liquefaction potential of soil.
