ABSTRACT:The study aimed to create a probabilistic liquefaction potential map for Metro Manila to help prepare for future calamities. A liquefaction opportunity map was produced by computing the probability of an earthquake with a moment magnitude of at least 5.2 from occurring. Historical data were gathered from 7 surrounding active faults within a 150 km radius of Metro Manila to determine their recurrence. A liquefaction susceptibility map was also developed by taking into consideration the conditions of the soil. Approximately 1000+ borehole logs scattered across Metro Manila was used in developing this map. These two maps were then combined to create the probabilistic liquefaction potential map. The results show that there is only a 2% chance of an earthquake capable of triggering a liquefaction occurring in a given year but in 50 years, there is a 10% chance of exceedance coming from an earthquake with an acceleration of 0.7g. The earthquake is most likely to come from the Valley Fault System which runs straight through Metro Manila.

“…However, over the past 30 years, surveys and construction projects in major cities in Kazakhstan have not taken into account the geological conditions and properties of soils, leading to negative consequences for buildings and structures [11]. Modern conditions for conducting engineering geological surveys are characterized by an accelerated pace of work, limited conditions, and the requirement to obtain information in the shortest possible time with minimal costs.…”

To solve the problem of insufficient accounting of engineering-geological conditions and types of soils in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is necessary to systematize and generalize information on engineering-geological conditions. This goal can be accomplished through the utilization of contemporary geoinformation systems (GIS), which enable the integration and examination of extensive datasets encompassing findings from drilling engineering-geological boreholes. The creation of a geoinformation database based on a dataset including a map of the city with specified X, Y, and H coordinates, as well as the results of drilling more than 500 engineering-geological boreholes studied from 2014 to 2022 in one of the main industrial cities of Kazakhstan, Pavlodar city, is an example of this approach. By analyzing the obtained data, the zoning of the territory with regard to engineering-geological conditions and soil types was carried out, five main engineering-geological elements (EGE) were identified, the physical-mechanical properties of soils were assessed, and engineering-geological maps of quaternary deposits and bedrock were created, as well as special geotechnical maps, including a map of groundwater level, which will help improve the quality of design and construction of buildings and structures in the city and in the whole territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Also, an analysis of the interaction of the soil base and strip foundations was carried out, and based on the results obtained, the optimization of design solutions through their typing, depending on the choice of geometric dimensions of the strip foundation base, was proposed.

Prambanan Temple is a cultural site which has been declared as world cultural heritage that is required to be conserved. Due to heavy equipment activities during maintenance period after Yogyakarta earthquake in May, 2006, soil in temple yard become dense, and ponding occurred after rainfall. A poodle layer and a drainage system has ever built to avoid such a problem, but the pond still didn't stop appearing after rain. Permeability parameter needs to be characterized to find exact method of solution. This experiment used Constant Discharge method which suitable for permeability test of sandy soil. The procedure were carried out from unsaturated until saturated soil condition. Volumetric water content were being monitored by using soil moisture probe. The results were value of permeability coefficient from unsaturated until saturated condition. The value of permeability coefficient and soil type characterization was mapping based on geographic reference using software Arcview GIS 3.3. Developed instruments were quite efficient and easy to be implemented on determining field soil permeability coefficient of sandy soil. Using constant discharge model, the value of unsaturated soil permeability can be obtained without establishing the matrix suction. The result of soil permeability characterization mapping can be used to determine the alternative solution of the ponding problem.
