Abstract :It was a very common procedure to investigate liquefaction risk with standard penetration test insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SPT);. However, this method has been lost its importance after the developments of conic penetration method in 1971, Becker penetration method and S-wave velocity measurements. S-wave velocity measurements could be very reasonable alternatives in order to carry out penetration tests for the gravelly and unconsolidated overburden soil investigations. In this study, S-wave velocity values were used in order to determine liquefaction resistance and allowable bearing capacity of soil where two different methods were applied to S-wave velocity values and the results were also compared. All the application steps of the methods were defined. Data were collected along 4 profiles for the ground investigations carried out for the Isparta Süleyman Demirel Industrial Region Waste Treatment Facility.
