Assessment Methodology
NRG ENGINEERING

General
The CPT results show a wide range of various soil
parameters within the layer of soil concern. These variables
include the percentage of fines, mean grain size, relative
density and depth of soil.
As such, limiting tip resistance for liquefaction to occur for
various soil parameters due to seismic acceleration of
0.23g, for example, is determined.
These limiting tip resistances are compared with the
average tip resistances from the CPT results and
conclusions are drawn for the liquefaction potential of the
soil layer being studied.

Determination of CN Value
The effective overburden pressure (o) for soil depth of
interest or a range, for example, from 1m to 5m, is
determined and the corresponding effective stress
correction factor, CN are obtained from Figure 2.
