Abstract:

Recent liquefaction hazard studies have made use of relationships developed to provide direct estimates of liquefaction displacements interms of liquefaction susceptibility index (LSI). Utilization of LSI information for a proposed gas transmission pipeline route is presented. The discussion presented here focusses on the considerable reliance on engineering judgement still required to translate LSI values into rational design quantities.
