• Abstract:
  This report describes the results of a detailed investigation of improved procedures for evaluation of ; liquefaction hazards in Washington State, and describes the development and use of a computer ; program, WSliq, that allows rapid and convenient performance of improved analyses. ; The report introduces performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) concepts to liquefaction ; hazard evaluation. PBEE procedures have been developed and implemented for evaluation of ; liquefaction potential, lateral spreading displacement, and post-liquefaction settlement. A new ; model for estimation of the residual strength of liquefied soil was also developed. ; The WSliq code was developed to have broad capabilities for evaluation of liquefaction ; susceptibility, liquefaction potential, and the effects of liquefaction. It provides new methods for ; dealing with the magnitude-dependence inherent in current procedures, and makes the common ; “magnitude selection” problem moot via a new multiple-scenario approach and through the use of ; PBEE procedures.
