Technical Bases for Regulatory Guide for Soil Liquefaction
This document provides technical bases for development of a new U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulatory Guide for evaluation of the potential for earthquake-induced liquefaction at nuclear facility sites, compiling current and state of the art techniques. The report summarizes the processes of acquiring and using geological, geophysical, geotechnical, and other kinds of relevant information that support design considerations with respect to liquefaction hazard and that may affect the construction or performance of a building or other engineered structure at selected sites. A historical perspective is provided to define liquefaction phenomena observed during earthquakes and to support identification of soil characteristics associated with liquefaction. Guidance is presented for site characterization studies, including the various in situ tests available for liquefaction potential evaluation. Screening techniques are described for preliminary hazard assessment; progressively more detailed procedures are presented to provide for investigations that are judged necessary once screening procedures identify soils that may pose a hazard to important facilities. Deterministic procedures are treated in this report.
