“Soil Liquefaction and Design Considerations for Buried Cable Systems”, by Michael Chamberlain (Haley & Aldrich, USA). Earthquakes and associated seismically induced geohazards (e.g. fault rupture, soil liquefaction, lateral spreading) are of critical importance to buried cable systems that are expected to perform in a post-earthquake setting. Presented from a geotechnical engineering perspective, this talk will focus on the fundamentals of soil liquefaction and lateral spreading as natural phenomena. Specifics of how these geohazards are assessed in practice will be discussed, as well as suggestions for how to assess these hazards for buried cable systems, ranging from local to regional scale.
