Liquefaction Analysis: EXAMPLE 1, Mud Bay Utilities, SPT Data

This document summarizes a liquefaction analysis for a site in Mud Bay Utilities based on SPT data from soil boring B-1. The boring encountered loose brown sand with silt and gravel near the surface, underlain by silty clay from 6-10 feet, silty sand from 10-14 feet, and medium sand from 14-20 feet. The analysis found the soil from 0-6 feet is susceptible to liquefaction during a magnitude 6 earthquake with 0.25g peak ground acceleration, with an estimated settlement of 88.49 cm.
