Assessing　the　risk　of　earthquake-induced　liquefaction　in　gravelly　soils　is　a　new　challenge　faced　by　earthquake　prevention　and　disaster　reduction　efforts　in　China＇s　engineering　sector.　In　situ　shear　wave　velocity　testing　is　a　universally　applicable　technical　method;　however,　existing　methods　are　not　suitable　for　China.　This　study　establishes　a　new　method　for　calculating　the　liquefaction　probability　of　gravelly　soils　based　on　shear　wave　velocity　under　the　Chinese　model,　and　compared　it　with　the　CYY　(Cao,　Youd　and　Yuan)　method,　which　is　based　on　the　CSR　(cyclic　stress　ratio)　theory.　The　comparative　analysis　using　measured　data　as　well　as　different　probability　liquefaction　threshold　models　indicates　that　the　proposed　Chinese　model　for　calculating　the　liquefaction　probability　of　gravelly　soils　based　on　shear　wave　velocity　can　solve　the　problem　of　CYY　method　unsuitable　for　China　and　is　more　advanced　than　the　CYY　method.　It　overcomes　the　shortcomings　of　the　CYY　method,　which　struggles　to　simultaneously　consider　different　burial　depths　of　gravelly　soil　layers　and　the　effects　of　varying　seismic　intensities.　Both　in　the　deterministic　discrimination　with　a　probability　of　0.5　and　in　the　reliability　of　liquefaction　probability　calculation　under　measured　data,　the　method　proposed　in　this　paper　outperforms　the　CYY　method.　The　proposed　formula　in　this　paper　has　been　adopted　in　the　revised　version　of　the　General　Rules　for　Performance-Based　Seismic　Design　of　Buildings,　serving　as　a　model　for　China,　and　can　provide　guidance　and　technical　support　for　related　specifications　and　engineering　applications.　©　2024　Biodiversity　Research　Center　Academia　Sinica.　All　rights　reserved.
