  • Use of Geotechnical and Geographical Information Systems to Analyze Seismic Risk in Algiers Area / Utilisation des systèmes d'information géotechnique et géographique pour analyser le risque sismique dans la zone d’Alger

    by Mohammed Amin Benbouras, Ratiba Mitiche Kettab, Fatiha Debiche, Maroua Lagaguine, Abdelmounaim Mechaala, Chawki Bourezak, N° 35 Keller Fondations Spéciales Spa, Alexandru-Ionuţ Petrişor, Bucureşti Universitatea de Arhitectură şi Urbanism „Ion Mincu”

    Geotechnical and geophysical data acquired from in situ and laboratory tests are crucial for safer constructions and better foundation plans. Accordingly, the geotechnical engineer assumes the responsibility to thoroughly study the site, in order to provide timely and cost-effectively the necessary and sufficient information on the natural features of the site, by predicting the different potential hazards. On the other hand, processing geotechnical and seismic information integrated by geographic information systems is an excellent idea that could help geotechnical engineers reliably predicting geotechnical information and accurately estimating the effects of the site in Alger area. This study represents a scientific contribution aimed at processing a geotechnical database of 144 downhole test surveys. This database is collected and organized in the geotechnical Information system "Géo-Base", which is then integrated into the Geographic Information System software (ArcGIS in the present study), allowing for visualizing the geotechnical maps. Finally, the seismic microzoning maps were constructed using the site period and average shear wave velocity up to 30 m (VS30). These maps were presented as a regional strategy. They will also be very useful for engineers, researchers and builders in future studies to mitigate seismic hazards in the study area by helping them making better decisions and safer and more economical designs.

  • Dry density in relation to other geotechnical proprieties of Algiers clay

    Geotechnical study is one of the most important stages of the project study; it is based on an objective study on ‎the soil of the site to determine the various characteristics, whether mechanical or physical. On the other ‎hand, in the majority of projects the number of completed tests does not allow to get reliable statistical results, ‎but here it features the role of personal or collective experiences to use different correlations performed by ‎researchers and statistical studies carried out for the different soil characteristics.‎ This article shows the results of a statistical study to relate dry density to other geotechnical parameters like ‎wet density (Dh), plasticity index (Ip), water content (w), void ratio (e), plastic limit (Wp), liquid limit (Wl), ‎consistency index (Ic), Preconsolidation pressure (σ'p), Compression Index (Cc), swelling index (Cg), cohesion ‎‎(cu), friction angle (φ) and liquidity index (Il); in Algiers region, and that in order to help geotechnical ‎engineer to predict the values of this parameters from dry density considering this latter an account of the ‎easiest calculated properties in the laboratory. More than 700 samples have been collected; over 120 ‎geotechnical projects have been done in the Algiers area to be used in this study.
