Table 1 Ground failure index (after Bray and Stewart 2000)
From: The impact evaluation of soil liquefaction on low-rise building in the Meinong earthquake
Index | Description | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
GF0 | No observable ground failure | No settlement, tilt, lateral movement or sediment ejecta |
GF1 | Minor ground failure | Settlement, D < 10 cm; tilt < 1°; no lateral movements |
GF2 | Moderate ground failure | 10 cm < D < 25 cm; tilt of 1°–3°; small lateral movements (<10 cm) |
GF3 | Significant ground failure | D > 25 cm; tilt of > 3°; lateral movement >25 cm |
