Guide to Remedial Measures for Liquefaction Mitigation at Existing Highway Bridge Sites
The seismic evaluation of an existing highway bridge requires the assessment of the liquefaction potential of supporting soils and resulting damage to the structure and its foundations. Where the risk of damage due to excessive deformations associated with the development of liquefaction is judged to be unacceptable, ground or foundation improvement can potentially be used to reduce the level of damage to acceptable levels. This report presents considerations for (1) evaluating the potential for liquefaction-induced damage to an existing highway bridge and the need for remediation, (2) selecting and designing remedial measures, and (3) implementation the proposed improvement schemes in the field.
