Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The degree of liquefaction was assessed by
A
Brook field viscosity
B
Amount of reducing power
C
All of the above
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -2.1 Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential The potential for liquefaction is then described in terms of a factor of safety against liquefaction, FSL = CRR/CSR. If the factor of safety is less than one, i.e., if the loading exceeds the resistance, liquefaction is expected to be triggered.

Detailed explanation-2: -Three parameters are needed to assess liquefaction potential using the simplified empirical method: a) shear velocity Vs; b) the cyclic stress ratio (CSR) and c) the capacity of the soil to resist liquefaction, expressed in terms of the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR).

Detailed explanation-3: -Two conditions must exist for liquefaction to occur: The soil must be susceptible to liquefaction (loose, water-saturated, sandy soil, typically between 0 and 30 feet below the ground surface). Ground shaking must be strong enough to cause susceptible soils to liquefy.
