Assessment of the liquefaction susceptibility of dispersed soils in Bukhara city based on engineering-geological investigations

This paper examines the preliminary assessment of the liquefaction susceptibility of dispersive soils collected from the Bukhara region. The assessment is based on the hydrogeological and engineering geological conditions of the area, soil type, potential for water saturation, density state, and grain-size distribution, which are considered the principal evaluation criteria. Geological investigations were conducted at sites within the territory of Bukhara City that were identified as potentially susceptible to soil liquefaction. Boreholes were drilled at these locations, and representative soil samples were collected. The collected samples were subjected to engineering-geological and geotechnical laboratory testing to determine their physical and mechanical properties. The results obtained from one representative borehole are presented below.
