10. The SASW Method
SASW = Spectral AAnalysis of
SSurface WWaves
Non-destructive – no boreholes,
time saving
Based on Rayleigh (surface) waves
Determines Shear Modulus versus
depth profile
16. Design Profile
Groundwater met at
7~8 m depth during the
field investigation
Due to the proximity of
site to Yamuna River,
and HFL, groundwater
level was considered at
ground surface for the
analysis

Pile should be tested to verify safe load under normal
condition so as to ensure that the piles shall be safe
under liquefaction condition during earthquake
33. Concluding Remarks
A detailed geotechnical investigation
is essential to properly assess
liquefaction potential during
earthquakes. The scope should
include
Boreholes
Static cone penetration tests
Shear wave velocity tests
34. Concluding Remarks
The CW Games village site may
experience liquefaction to 9.5 m
depth under the design earthquake
Safe load for piles should be worked
out ignoring the skin friction in the
liquefiable zone
Piles should be load tested for safe
load as per normal condition
