4- Based on geotechnical studies performed on a sand deposit, the following results have been obtained for standard penetration test numbers (N60) at any depth. Groundwater level is measured 2 meters below ground level. Dry specific gravity of sand 17.6 kN / m3 and specific gravity of sand saturation 19.6 kN / g Cubic meters are obtained. For an earthquake of magnitude 8.25, determine whether liquefaction occurs at any level. The maximum acceleration is considered to be 0.259 = dmax. May DEPTH (M) N60 (BLOWS/30CM) 7 11 12 14 18 21
