…………, …………… and ……………… tests are the field tests used to determine the local soil class in the 2018 Turkey Building Earthquake Regulation.

There is a bedrock layer under the ground section, which consists of 4 m of peat, 5 m of fine sand and 6 m of soft clay from the ground surface. According to the Turkey Building Earthquake Regulation (2018), where groundwater is on the ground surface, the local ground class should be taken as ..........

......... is an applicable field test in soft clay and loose sand soils preferred due to its short duration, continuous data collection, and pore water pressure measurement even if the samples cannot be recovered during the test.

............ slope angle, …........... at the toe, and ……………the surcharge load at the top of the slope are one of the methods applied to increase the slope stability.
