The liquefaction is a very significant phenomenon in clayey silty soils, silty sands and also sands. The high potential of liquefaction is generally recognized when these types of soils are laid under the hydrostatic water table. Low plasticity silts, silty sands and sands are found as recent alluvial deposits in the western coastal part of Albania, especially in the sandy beaches of Adriatic Sea near Durres City. The aim of this study is to evaluate the soil liquefaction potential in the area of Golem. Ten CPTUs (cone penetration test with pore pressure measurements) are carried out for the site investigation of soils. In this paper, results of the CPTU based liquefaction analysis are presented. The data of two CPTUs (10 in total) are analyzed and factor of safety was found by considering different levels of hazard and ground water. The results of liquefaction potential analysis show that the soils in the area of Golem have a high risk of liquefaction.

<正> In order to improve the mechanical properties of volcanic cohesive soils, they are usually stabilized by adding cement or lime. However, this method has certain drawbacks such as insufficient hardening or the leaching of hexavalent chromium from cement. Each year, a large amount of mown grass is generated from embankments and river areas. Most of this grass is either burnt in a field or disposed, while a part of it is used in composting. A technique for the carbonization of mown grass has been developed. Carbide is a porous material with a high capacity for water absorption. Therefore, the mown grass carbide can be used for water purification and soil improvement. In this study, the strength and leaching properties of cement-treated soils mixed with charcoal are investigated by performing unconfined compression and by conducting leaching tests. Furthermore, a cone penetration test is performed on the volcanic cohesive soils using the carbide obtained from mown grass, and the improvement in trafficability by mixing carbide and lime is clarified.
