Studying the Probability of Liquefaction Between Western- Shaft and C2 Station zone (2nd Line of Tabriz Metro)

One of the most dramatic causes of damage to structures like buildings, bridges, fandamental structures and ... during earthquakes is the occurence of liquefaction. In this study, by using Novoliq software and results of in-situ tests such as SPT, have been assessted the probability of liquefaction between Western-Shaft and C2 Station zone (2nd line of Tabriz metro). In this research, have been excavated 28 borehole and 4 wells. Results showed that, if Tabriz Fault was active, occurence of liquefaction would be happened. Also have been proposed that in this zone, between Western-Shaft and C2 zone, according to economics of project, performance possibility and facility, technical and performance limitations, it is better to use compact grouting for ground improvement
