• Abstract:
  This user’s manual includes a step-by-step process for using a spreadsheet tool called CPTLiq to perform simplified calculations for performance-based probabilistic earthquake hazard analysis while using Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data from site CPT soundings of soils. The simplified models provide estimates of liquefaction triggering, lateral spread displacements, and post-liquefaction settlements. These simplified models were developed and validated, as documented in two UDOT research report volumes for Phases 1 and 2 of the TPF-5(338) pooled fund study that was funded by the Utah, Oregon, South Carolina, and Connecticut Departments of Transportation. Liquefaction reference parameter maps, which are used together with the CPTLiq tool, were developed for these four states for the 475, 1039, and 2475 year return periods, as documented in the Phase 2 final report volume.
