Development of Electrical Resistivity Vibration Penetration Test (ER-VPT)

P030 DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY VIBRATION PENETRATION TEST (ER-VPT) Abstract 1 The estimation of liquefiable soils and potential mapping of liquefaction are very important for city planners building owners and engineers to see liquefaction prone areas and hazard levels. If the proposed structure is in a liquefaction hazard zone additional measures against liquefaction can be taken. We propose a new method electrical resistivity vibration probe penetration test (ER-VPT) which utilizes a vibration probe accelerometer pore-pressure meter and electrical resistivity measurement to determine the liquefiable soils. We did experiments in laboratory and field using ER-VPT and got successful results. The ER-VPT
