Arias Intensity Assessment of Liquefaction Test Sites on the East Side of San Francisco Bay Affected by the Loma Prieta, California, Earthquake of 17 October 1989

Table 1

Table of parameters used in liquefaction-susceptibility analyses.

Representative values of parameters used in liquefaction-susceptibility analyses for critical soil layers at east bay study sites (see Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4
for locations of boreholes. PGA, peak ground acceleration; q_c₁, normalized cone-penetration resistance; (N₁)₆₀, 60%-hammer-efficiency normalized
standard penetration resistance; CSR, cyclic stress Ratio; I_hb, Arias intensity; f_c fines content; (N₁)₆₀, f_c fines content corrected SPT-resistance).
