Development Of A Liquefaction Opportunity Map For Cache Valley, Utah, Richard J. Greenwood May 1979

Development Of A Liquefaction Opportunity Map For Cache Valley, Utah, Richard J. Greenwood

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A liquefaction opportunity map was developed for Cache Valley, Utah. The study was the initial phase to determine the potential for liquefaction in Cache Valley.

The method used in this study to develop the liquefaction opportunity map was based on a procedure developed by Youd and Perkins (1977).

This opportunity map is proposed to be combined with a map delineating liquefaction susceptible soils to produce a liquefaction potential map. The liquefaction susceptibility map is being developed in a companion study.

The liquefaction potential map will assist in the evaluation of earthquake response in general and microzonation in particular. The liquefaction …
