One of the main concerns for structures built on sandy soils is soil liquefaction. Liquification is the process by which tightly packed, damp granular soil near the ground's surface loses strength from severe ground trembling. Existing structures fall as a result of this phenomenon, taking lives and property with them. Thus, while constructing a foundation, it is essential to comprehend the zone of liquefaction at a particular area. In light of this, a sand-rich location in Kolkata's Sonarpur neighborhood has been chosen for the current study. The goal of the current study is to assess the soil's liquefaction potential using the SPT and CPT methods in Sonarpur, which is close to Kolkata. It has been determined how resistant soils are to liquefaction, measured in terms of the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR). The article highlights the site's distinctive liquefaction zone, which may be taken into consideration when constructing the geotechnical foundation there.
