Penetration Testing of Liquefaction Potential of Ashes due to Seismic Load

Geomaterials with typical low unit weight and high porosity are significantly prone to liquefaction as a result of dynamic – seismic load. Investigation of geomaterials that are prone to liquefaction due to seismic load can use certain SPT and CPT penetration tests. The method of investigating lique...

Summary:Geomaterials with typical low unit weight and high porosity are significantly prone to liquefaction as a result of dynamic – seismic load. Investigation of geomaterials that are prone to liquefaction due to seismic load can use certain SPT and CPT penetration tests. The method of investigating liquefaction caused by seismic activity was developed based on numerous penetration tests of sandy or silty–sandy soils and was elaborated in detail at the Workshop on Evaluation of Liquefaction Resistance of Soil, NCEER, Salk Lake City, USA, 1996. In the present paper, the results of penetration CPT test conducted at the ash impoundment in Zemianske Kostoľany are analyzed using methodology NCEER.
