Abstract

As one of the secondary geologic hazards of Earthquakes, liquefaction has been researched since 1960s in USA, Japan, etc. Scientists researched many methods and field tests used to determine liquefaction. This paper uses the results of Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) and NCEER (USA Nation Center for Earthquake Engineering Research) methods to evaluate the liquefaction in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City. The result showed that 50% wards in the study area occurs this phenomenon. The map of liquefaction zone was made and it can be used to construction management.
