In the future, the judgment of liquefaction on housing site will become important and it will be thought that the upgrade of soil investigation and liquefaction countermeasure is necessary. In Japan, Swedish weight sounding (SWS) has been widely used in soil investigation on residential areas. Based on the result of SWS, the bearing capacity of ground can be obtained. However, the judgment of liquefaction is not obtained. This paper reports results of SWS, boring investigation, standard penetration test (SPT), and three component cone penetration test (CPT) on the housing site which caught the liquefaction damage by the earthquake of Chuetsu offshore (2007) in Niigata Prefecture. In addition, it reports the applicability of the CPT on the housing site of Japan.
