SCREENING GUIDE FOR RAPID ASSESSMENT OF LIQUEFACTION HAZARD AT HIGHWAY BRIDGE SITES (EXCERPTS)

As an aid to seismic hazard assessment, this report provides a "screening guide" for systematic evaluation of liquefaction hazard at bridge sites and a guide for prioritizing sites for further investigation or mitigation. The guide presents a systematic application of standard criteria for assessing liquefaction, ground displacement potential, and vulnerability of bridges to damage. This CD-ROM version contains excerpts from the original report.
