Our Experience

The SCPTu is the primary in-situ test for earthquake induced liquefaction assessment. From the SCPTu one can determine:

  • Soil Type
  • Groundwater Level
  • Soil Strength
  • Cyclic Resistance Ratio
  • Undrained Strength Ratio
  • Ground Remediation Requirements
  • Post liquefaction vertical and lateral Displacements 

Advantages

  • Rapid
  • Precise
  • Repeatable
  • Safe

Parameters

  • Mobilized strength ratio
  • Cyclic resistance ratio
  • Shear wave velocity
  • Soil behavior type
  • Groundwater conditions
  • Soil resistance

Applications

  • Liquefaction Susceptibility
  • Post-Liquefaction analysis (strength and settlement)
  • Seismic Site Classification
  • Seismic Ground Response Analysis
  • Ground Improvement QA/QC
