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 />
