| metadata.dc.description.abstractenglish: | On March 2023, a Mw6.6 intraplate earthquake with epicenter in the Gulf of Guayaquil impacted the coastal region of Ecuador, causing at least 13 deaths, 89 destroyed buildings and 192 affected structures. In several locations around the epicenter of the event, expressions of liquefaction were documented. In order to assess the applicability of liquefaction potential evaluation models, one seismic dilatometer test (SDMT) and one cone penetration test (CPTu) were performed in Puerto Baquerizo (South coastal region of Ecuador, 35 km far from the epicenter), where evidence of earthquake-induced soil liquefaction was clearly observed. In addition, morphological and componentry characterization were carried out in samples of the ejected material retrieved during the exploration program. The liquefaction assessment results in terms of safety factors and liquefaction potential indices reveal that the probability of liquefaction triggering is adequately predicted at the study site by the methodologies based on the SDMT and CPTu data. soil liquefaction, seismic dilatometer test, cone penetration test, 2023 Balao earthquake |
