ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURES TO EVALUATE LIQUEFACTION TRIGGERING AND CONSEQUENCES
Wednesday, June 18th, 2025
10:30am-12pm PDT
Virtual Event
This free webinar, presented by the San Diego Regional Chapter, will address some issues associated with simplified procedures to evaluate liquefaction triggering and consequences. These issues include earthquake source type, ground motion shape, loading duration related to liquefaction triggering, and other limitations. New approaches for the calculation of CRR, CSR (subduction environment) and MSF will also be presented. In addition, discussion will include the mismatch between surface evidence and the likelihood of liquefaction that may reach unacceptable values in subduction environments. Case histories presented by the three speakers will be the basis for the discussion in the webinar. Martin Hudson will also open the webinar with an eulogy for Marshall Lew.
