C N : Overburden correction factor<br />

C E : Correction factor <strong>for</strong> the SPT hammer energy ratio<br />

C B : Correction factor <strong>for</strong> the borehole diameter<br />

C R : Correction factor <strong>for</strong> the rod length<br />

C S : Correction factor <strong>for</strong> the sampling method<br />

N m : Insitu measured St<strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong>ard Penetration resist<strong>an</strong>ce value<br />

The correction factors C N , C E , C B , C R , Cs<br />

are summarized in Table 3.2.<br />

After calculating the corrected SPT number, the CRR c<strong>an</strong> be found by using<br />

charts developed by different researches.<br />

Curves by Seed et al. (1983): Practical charts are proposed by Seed et. al.<br />

(1983) regarding evaluation of the liquefaction potential <strong>for</strong> different magnitude<br />
