Abstract

The paper contains the experimental research performed in Bucharest like the borehole data (Standard Penetration Test) and the data obtained from seismic investigations (down-hole prospecting and surface-wave methods). The evaluation of the soils liquefaction resistance based on the results of the SPT, down-hole prospecting and surface-wave method tests and the use of the earthquake records will be presented.
