• Historical evidence
- Sand boils in 1949 and 1965
- Broken pipes in 1949 and 1965
- Lateral movements in 1965
• Construction techniques
- Hydraulic filling
- Dumping through water
• Previous investigations
- Mabey and Youd (1991)
- Grant et al. (1992)

Little liquefaction susceptibility but in areas with
steep slopes. Liquefaction is unlikely, but if it
were to occur, large displacements are
possible.
No displacement likely due to liquefaction.

Effects of LiquefactionEffects of Liquefaction
• Sand boils - expected over most of length
• Post-earthquake settlement
- Up to 1” in fill above water table
- Up to 25” in soft, saturated soils
• Vertical pile movement
- Tip capacity reached at r = 0.6
- Tips of southernmost piles in liquefiable soil
• Lateral pile movement
- Depends on lateral soil movement
- 10”-12” expected to cause bending failure
- Lateral soil movement depends on seawall movement
u
All movements variable due to variability of soil profile

Seawall InvestigationSeawall Investigation
• Transverse profile characterization
- 5 additional borings (2 offshore)
- 3 additional CPT soundings
• Seawall structure characterization
- Member sizes
- Member properties
- Connection strengths
• Computational model
- Soil
- Seawall
- Soil-seawall interaction

Strain due to softening
• Primary effects of liquefaction
- Reduction of soil strength
- Reduction of soil stiffness
• Stiffness reduction approach1. Analyze with pre-liquefaction properties
2. Analyze with post-liquefaction properties
3. Subtract pre-liquefaction displacements from post-liquefaction displacements
