site based on variations in the properties of the soil strata. 6. 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 plans 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.) 7.
