A testing method and apparatus for ground liquefaction and dynamic
characteristics in the original position utilizing a boring hole, wherein
the dynamic strength and deformation characteristics of a soil layer
against a dynamic repetitive load, in an optional position in the ground
can be obtained by a simple method. A measuring cell based on a
three-chamber construction is used, and upper and lower soil layers (J1,
J3) with an intermediate soil layer (J2) therebetween are alternately
subjected to a dynamic repetitive load, and what influence there is on
the intermediate soil layer (J2) is investigated from the relation
between pressure and displacement.
