Ground Condition Evaluation and Risk Analysis of Liquefaction Potential Based on Remote Sensing and SPT: A Case Study of Sultan Dam, Wardak, Afghanistan

Abstract

AbstractThe safety and stability of dams depend strongly on their foundation conditions, particularly in seismically active regions where loose sandy and silty soils are prone to liquefaction. This study evaluates the liquefaction susceptibility of the ...Practical ApplicationsThis study evaluates the safety of the Sultan Dam in Wardak Province, Afghanistan, with a focus on soil liquefaction—a condition where loose, water-saturated soils lose strength during earthquakes. In 2005, a 67-m section of the dam ...
