One of the primary objectives of the Canadian Liquefaction Experiment (CANLEX) project was to evaluate in situ testing techniques and existing interpretation methods as part of the overall goal to focus and coordinate Canadian geotechnical expertise on the topic of soil liquefaction. Six sites were selected by the CANLEX project in an attempt to characterize various deposits of loose sandy soil. The sites consisted of a variety of soil deposits, including hydraulically placed sand deposits associated with the oil sands industry, natural sand deposits in the Fraser River Delta, and hydraulically placed sand deposits associated with the hard-rock mining industry. At each site, a target zone was selected and various in situ tests were performed. These included standard penetration tests, cone penetration tests, seismic downhole cone penetration tests (giving shear wave velocity measurements), geophysical (gamma-gamma) logging, and pressuremeter testing. This paper describes the techniques used in the in situ testing program at each site and presents a summary and interpretation of the results.Key words: CANLEX, in situ testing, shear wave velocity, geophysical logging, pressuremeter.

Pacitan City, the capital of Pacitan Regency is located at the southern part of East Java Province. This area is facing directly to the earthquake source due to plates subduction between Indo-Australia and Eurasia plates. Southern part of this City is coastal resort area which is geologicaly consists of alluvial deposits that is still under compaction and some of the upper layers are consist of loose material. According to the condition, this area is vulnerable to the earthquake induced soil liquefaction. Five soil borings and 30 cone penetration tests were conducted in this study area to investigate soil properties for evaluating soil liquefaction. Severity of the potential surface damages due to liquefaction were identified by calculating Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI). The results show that study area is vulnerable to soil liquefaction, with potential damage severity vary from very low to very high. Medium to high severity of potential damage are distributed in almost area of the city, and only in the southern part close to the coast line have very high severity level.

Properties Of Soil

A method of utilizing cone penetration tests (CPTs) is presented which gives continuous profiles of both the in situ thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity, along with the in situ temperature, for the upper tens of meters of the ground. Correlations from standard CPT results (cone resistance, sleeve friction and pore pressure) are utilized for both thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity for saturated soil. These, in conjunction with point-wise thermal conductivity and in situ temperature results using a Thermal CPT (T-CPT), allow accurate continuous profiles to be derived. The CPT-based method is shown via a field investigation supported by laboratory tests to give accurate and robust results.
