The liquefaction potential is highest for loose sand with a high groundwater table. <br /> The medium dense to very dense native soils interpreted to underlie the site are considered to have a <br /> low potential for liquefaction and amplification of ground motion. <br /> Project Area 2: The 2015 International Building Code(IBC), Section 1613.3.2,refers to Chapter 20 of <br /> ASCE-7 for Site Class Definitions. Based on information from the soil borings, it is our opinion that <br /> the overall soil profile corresponds to Site Class D as defined by Table 20.3-1 "Site Class Definitions," <br /> according to the 2010 ASCE-7 Standard. Site Class D applies to a"Stiff Soil"profile. The seismic site <br /> class is based on a soil profile extending to a depth of 100 feet. The soil borings for this project <br /> extended to a maximum depth of about 11.5 feet and this seismic site class designation is based on the <br /> assumption that similar soil conditions continue below the depth explored. <br /> We referred to the Applied Technology Council(ATC) Hazards by Location Website and the 2015 IBC <br /> to obtain values for Ss, SMs, SDS, SI, SMI, SDI, Fa, and F,,. The ATC website includes the most updated <br /> published data on seismic conditions. The seismic design parameters for this site are presented in the <br /> following table. <br /> I <br /> Krazan&Associates,Inc. <br /> Offices Serving The Western United States <br /> r <br />
