Özet

The soil under dynamic effects such as earthquakes causes great damage to the structure. One of the most important causes of damage caused by earthquakes is liquefaction. On the 6th of February 2023 Kahramanmaraş, earthquakes and many others, many people lost their lives in structures damaged due to liquefaction. Türkiye Building Earthquake Regulation (2018) explains what should be done about liquefaction. In this study, computer software that calculates the liquefaction potential according to the earthquake code is developed. The software is prepared using MATLAB programming language, which is an object-oriented language. This software calculates the liquefaction potential of soil layers according to possible earthquakes and Standard Penetration Test data. Consequently, it is understood that soils with liquefaction potential should be determined through using the software, and foundation design should be made by the soil conditions.
