Using Seismic Waves to Predict Soil Liquefaction

Liquefaction typically occurs in sandy soils with a relatively small amount of fines. There are a few empirical correlations which are used in the industry to estimate the liquefaction potential of soil based on its properties. This video explains how to calculate cyclic stress ratio (CSR) 0:35, to correct shear wave velocity to the overburden pressure 04:08, and to solve an engineering problem 05:05.
