and Idnss and Boulanger (2008) at the MCE level using both SPTs and CPTs. Our analyses indicate that <br />Me site (under existing conditions) could experience liquefactioninducedfree field ground settlement on <br />the order of 3 to 28 inches during an MCE seismic event, as shown In Figure 5. The average liquefaction - <br />induced settlements are anticipated to be 14 inches for Parcel A17; and the differentialliquefaction <br />- <br />intlucetl settlements are anticipated to be on the order of 1 inch over horizontal distance of 50 feet. <br />4.3. Lateral Spreading and Kinematic Loads <br />Lateral spreading involves lateral displacements of large volumes of liquefied soil. Lateral spreading can <br />occur on near level ground as blocks of surface soils are displaced release W adjacent blocks. Lateral <br />spreading also occurs as blocks of surface soils are displaced towards a nearby slope or free -face by <br />movement of underlying liquefied soil. In the case of this pmjem site, lateral spreading could occur during <br />earthquakes resulting in the movement of soil or Sediment onto belowwaterstructures and kinematic load <br />that should be considered In the structural design. <br />4.3.1 Earthquake -induced Lateral Ground Deformations <br />Earthquakeinducedlateral ground Deformations were evaluated by performing slope stability analyses and <br />simplified Newmark analyses for the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) Intraslab source since the Intraslab <br />source has the highest percent contribution per deaggregation. <br />43.11 Slope Stability Analysis <br />Slope stability analyses were completed on Cross Section A -A' using Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) with a <br />commercial software, Slope/W, developed by GEOSLOPE International, Ltd. The bulkhead structures (i.e., <br />sheet pile and tiebacks) were included in our slope stability models. The slope stability was evaluated under <br />static, seismic, and post -earthquake conditions. <br />4.33.2. Soil Proporan <br />The soil properties that were used in the slope stability analyses are listed In Table 3, where static strengths <br />were used in static condition for all sail units. We assumed that liquefaction occurs during the earthquake; <br />therefore, in seismic and postearthquake conditions, residual fiction angles were used in the liquefied <br />soils (below groundwater table and above liquefaction depth); 80 percent of static strengths were used In <br />The soils above groundwater table; and full static strengths were used in the sails (non -liquefiable) below <br />liquefaction depth. <br />TABLE 3.
