Step 5: Is liquefaction possible?
The answer is "Yes" if ΨLiquefaction is possible if the state parameter Ψ5m > -0.05 .
If Ψ5m < -0,05 that means that liquefaction is unlikely.
Ψ5m is defined as the lowest average value of state parameter over total of 5 m between the water line and 0.5H below the toe of the submerged slope.
