Surcharge Loads <br />Based on the collaboration with PND, the surcharge load within the building footprint is 190 pound per <br />square foot (psf) in static condition and 115 psf in seismic and post -earthquake conditions. <br />4.3.1.4. Slope Stability Results <br />Figures 6 through 8 present the slope stability analysis results for Cross Section A -A'. In static condition, <br />the factor of safety (FOS) was evaluated generally over 3.0 for the slip surfaces going underneath the <br />potential building footprints (Figure 6), which indicates a stable condition. <br />In post -earthquake condition, most of the slip surfaces going underneath the potential building footprints <br />have the FOS over 1.1 (Figure 7); while a small portion near the north edge of the building footprints that <br />has slip surfaces with FOS around 1.0 may experience slope failure with excessive slope movement. <br />In seismic condition (Figure 8), with a failure wedge starting from about one-third of the potential building <br />footprints with a FOS of 1.0, the yield acceleration was estimated as 0.01g. The corresponding earthquake - <br />induced lateral ground deformation was estimated at about 53 inches using the simplified displacement <br />approach developed by Bray and Travasarou (2007) and Bray et al. (2018), which exceeds the allowable <br />lateral displacement criterion of 18 inches per Table 12.13.2 of ASCE 7-16. Ground improvement is <br />designed to reduce the lateral displacement to meet the allowable lateral displacement criterion per ASCE <br />7-16. Please note that the ground improvement does not mitigate the effects of liquefaction to the existing <br />bulkhead, which is not part of our current scope of work. <br />5.0 GROUND IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Based on the collaboration with PND, we understand that due to the potential liquefaction issue at the site, <br />ground improvement with rigid inclusion is selected as the foundation support for the buildings at PGL site <br />to mitigate the ground deformations, that include static (long-term consolidation) and seismic (liquefaction - <br />induced) settlements, earthquake -induced lateral ground deformation, etc., and prevent slope failure from <br />occurring within the potential building footprints. <br />GWENGINEERS� April 1, 2022 Page 6 <br />File No. 06 i 6-030 00 <br />
