    Particle size, cobbles, gravels for Liquefaction

    A silty/clayey gravel stratum, SPT sampling, 25-35 ft depth with water table at 18 feet. Loose to medium dense. SPT samples yield fragments of larger gravels which, coupled with experience in the area, indicates to us that there is a significant percentage of cobbles to gravels. Liquefaction...
