It was a very common procedure to investigate liquefaction risk with standard penetration test (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.
