“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.

The fall 2025 minutes are ready for download. An email has been sent through GoDaddy with a link to download the minutes. We hope to have a new website up and running by the next meeting and be able to download the minutes from it. This is an intermediate option and hopefully a one time occurrence. We know that everyone doesn’t receive emails from GoDaddy, so if you haven’t received the email with the link to download the minutes, please email BIll Taylor at wltaylor10@gmail.com and he will email you the link. Thanks for your understanding.
Discussion group C37D will be meeting Tuesday, October 27, from 3:30 – 5:30 PM. During this meeting, Georgios Georgallis of Hellenic Cables will give a presentation titled: Presentation of an umbilical power cable concept for combined transmission of electricity and hydrogen gas
Abstract: The development of combined transmission of electricity and hydrogen gas aims to improve the business case and flexibility and to reduce cost barriers for at-turbine electrolysis as a cost-competitive alternative to the large-scale electrolysis solutions. The investigated component level solution concerns the design – including study of electrical and thermal aspects, manufacture and testing of an umbilical 3phase submarine power cable (66kV) with integrated H2 gas transmission elements.
Also presenting will be Kazuki Hashimoto of Sumitomo Electric, with a presentation titled: Mercer Island Project For Replacing Existing SCFF Cable to XLPE Cable
Abstract: Supplying XLPE submarine cable to replace existing aged SCFF submarine cables in Puget Sound (Washington State), increasing capacity and communication, addressing supply chain constrains and minimizing environmental risks.
