fine the cyclic resistance to liquefaction of the soils. D. An assessment of the liquefaction potential using a conservative envelope of the test data submitted. 2.5.4-14 Revision 5 – July 2014 E. A calculation of the stress induced by the earthquake that has been arrived at by an envelope of critical conditions calculated for the site based on variations in the properties of the soil strata. F. Assurance that conservative ranges of relative density of granular soils or relative consistency of fine-grained soils are estimated. Estimates of the "safety factor" obtained from the applicant's analysis are compared to the safety margins estimated by the staff. (The applicant's plan to “eliminate” the liquefaction condition usually by excavation and backfill, vibroflotation or chemical grouting is evaluated as discussed in Subsections 2.5.4.5 and 2.5.4.12.) G. An assessment of post-earthquake stability and settlements due to partial liquefaction using state-of-the-art techniques. H. An assessment of nonseismic liquefaction based on state-of-the-art techniques.
