GI October Dinner Meeting – Multi-tiered Evaluation of Earthquake-Induced Settlements: Application to Case Studies from the 2023 Türkiye Earthquake Sequence
October 26 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us with Professor Renmin Pretell and Dr. Ozgun Numanoglu as their presentation will demonstrate a multi-tiered framework to assess earthquake-induced settlements, ranging from empirical liquefaction methods (Tiers 1-2) to advanced numerical simulations (Tiers 3-4). Applied to three sites affected by the 2023 M7.81 Pazarcık Earthquake, the framework shows that conventional free-field methods generally overestimate post-shaking reconsolidation settlements. Advanced partially drained and 3D soil-structure interaction analyses more accurately reproduced measured settlements and identified the governing settlement mechanisms.
