RESUMEN: El enfoque normal para evaluar la resistencia a la licuacion se basa en la ejecucion de ensayos de penetration en campo. Sin embargo, se ha demostrado que la resistencia a la penetracion es sensible al porcentaje de finos en los suelos granular. Incrementos en la cantidad de finos causan una reduccion en la resistencia a la penetracion y una reduccion en la resistencia a la licuacion – particularmente si el porcentaje de finos es mayor a 35%. La ejecucion de ensayos dinamicos de laboratorio es el metodo preferido para evaluar la resistencia a la licuacion para suelos finos. El articulo presenta resultados de ensayos dinamicos (DSS) realizados con arenas limosas y limos de la zona de Vancouver, British Columbia y la comparacion de resultados con el grafico basado en la resistencia a la penetracion.
