Proposed Seismic Loading Parameters for the Auburn Damsite
This report represents the culmination of the extensive seismic studies of the Auburn Damsite initiated by the USBR. The report contains a review and evaluation by the staff of the Bureau's Engineering and Research Center of studies by Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Bureau engineering and geologists, other consultant specialists retained by the Bureau, and a review of the Woodward-Clyde data by the U.S. Geological Survey. These proposed loading parameters are considered by the Engineering and Research Center to be relevant to the design of any dam proposed for the site. Sections of the report deal with the proposed maximum credible earthquakes, the estimated ground motions resulting from these earthquakes, and with considerations of possible surface faulting at the site. The proposed parameters were submitted to the State of California for their review as part of the overall review process for Auburn Dam.
