RapidLiq is Windows software for predicting liquefaction-induced ground failure using geospatial models, which are particularly suited for regional scale and rapid-response applications.

  • RapidLiq v1.0 includes four such models. One is a logistic regression model developed by Rashidian and Baise (2020). The other three are machine and deep-learning models developed by Geyin et al. (2022), who recommended use of their “ensemble” model.
  • All necessary predictor variables are compiled in RapidLiq. The only input is a ground motion raster downloadable minutes after an earthquake, or available for enumerable future earthquake scenarios. This gives the software near-real-time capabilities, such that ground failure can be predicted at regional scale within minutes of an event.
  • The software outputs geotiff files mapping the probabilities of liquefaction-induced ground failure. These files may be viewed within the software but explored in greater detail using GIS or one of many free geotiff web explorers (e.g., http://app.geotiff.io/).

Horizon is Windows software for analyzing the occurrence, consequence, mitigation, and economics of seismically-induced soil liquefaction via CPT sensing and models. Salient features include:

  • CPT processing: Inverse filtering and interface correction; CPT sensor alignment via statistical cross-correlation.
  • Six triggering models; Four free-field manifestation models; Shallow-foundation fragility and vulnerability models.
  • Seamless integration with USGS probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) framework; Compute return periods of free-field manifestation, foundation damage, and economic loss.
  • Cost-benefit analytics for deciding whether/how to mitigate liquefaction risks; Quantify value of planned or constructed mitigation activities, wherein improvement is detected and incorporated via changes to CPT sensing data.
