CYCLIC LIQUEFACTION BASED ON THE CONE PENETROMETER TEST

Richard S. Olsen

Open publisher page 58 citations

Abstract

This paper describes suggested recommendations for Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT)-based estimation of liquefaction potential. Basically there are two approaches - those techniques based on cone resistance and the CPT soil characterization chart technique. Selecting the optimum technique is dependent of the encountered soil type and if soil index tests are measured. Background information and limitations are described for each technique. Stress normalization is also fully described because its importance is not well known.
