Liquefaction Christchurch Earthquakes Hannah Craven This website presents information about the liquefaction hazard in christchurch city. most of this information is not new, it's simply gathered together in one place to make it easier to access. In both 4 september 2010 and 22 february 2011 earthquakes widespread liquefaction occurred in christchurch and kaiapoi causing extensive damage to residential properties.
Liquefaction Lessons From The 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes New Three things are needed for a soil to liquefy: 1. the soil must be loose sandy or silty soil. clay and gravel soils generally do not liquefy. 2. the soil must be saturated, i.e. below the water table. 3. strong earthquake shaking. The bi 2014 method provided the best fit to the mapped liquefaction induced land damage for the regional prediction of liquefaction triggering for the christchurch soils. Detailed liquefaction maps illustrating the extent and severity of liquefaction across christchurch triggered by the sequence of earthquakes including multiple episodes of severe re liquefaction are next presented. We present maps and digital data of the surface manifestation of liquefaction for the two major events during the 2010–2011 canterbury earthquake sequence, the 2010 darfield and the 2011 christchurch earthquakes, in order to show liquefaction extent.

Three nearby accelerometers allow calibration between the geological expressions of liquefaction and the intensity of earthquake induced surface ground motion at the site. In the 2010–2011 canterbury earthquakes widespread liquefaction occurred over nearly half of the urban area of christchurch. the most severe damage to buildings and infrastructure was often associated with lateral spreading and consequent large ground distortion and permanent ground displacements. Liquefaction develops very quickly during strong earthquakes. “during the february 2011 earthquake,” says misko, “it took two, three, four seconds to liquefy the loose soil in the eastern suburbs of christchurch.”. Vulnerability map – a map showing how liquefaction vulnerability varies across christchurch. earthquake maps – observations from the 2010 2011 canterbury earthquakes.
