Evaluation of liquefaction potential using cone penetration test (CPT) and standard penetration test (SPT) [PDF]
Abstract To evaluate soil resistance against liquefaction, a simplified procedure has been developed based on directly field soil testing. There are four recommended field tests, including CPT and SPT. Soil resistance to liquefaction is measured by the safety factor SF, which is the ratio between the capacity of the soil to resist ...
