ABSTRACT
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the most widely used in-situ test throughout the world for subsurface
geotechnical investigation and this procedure have evolved over a period of 100 years. Estimation of the
liquefaction potential of soils is often based on SPT test. Liquefaction is one of the critical problems in the field of
Geotechnical engineering. It is the phenomena when there is loss of shear strength in saturated and cohesion-less
soils because of increased pore water pressures and hence reduced effective stresses due to dynamic loading. In the
present study, SPT based data were analysed to find out a suitable numerical procedure for establishing a Multi-
Linear Regression Model using IBM-Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics v20.0.0) and
MATLAB(R2010a) in analysis of soil liquefaction for a particular location at a site in Lucknow City. A Multi-
Storeyed Residential Building Project site was considered for this study to collect 12 borehole datasets along 10 km
stretch of IIM road, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (India). The 12 borehole datasets includes 06 borehole data up to 22m
depth and other 06 borehole data up to 30m depth to further analyse the behavior of different soil properties and
validity of the established Multi-Linear Regression Model. Disturbed soil sample were collected upto 22m and 30m
depth in every1.5m interval to determine various soil parameters. In recent years, various researchers have
expressed the need for location based specific study of seismic soil properties and analysis of Liquefaction in Soils.
Keywords: Liquefaction, Multi-Linear Regression Modeling, MATLAB, SPSS, SPT, CSR, CRR.
