Earthquake Assessment
For earthquake induced liquefaction assessment the most popular in-situ test is the seismic cone penetration test (SCPTu). From the SCPTu one can determine:
- Soil Type
- Groundwater Level
- Soil Strength
- Cyclic Resistance Ratio
- Undrained Strength Ratio
- Ground Remediation Requirements
- Vertical and Lateral Displacements
