Soil Liquefaction Potential at the Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, California.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a useful guide for evaluating the possibility of liquefaction and the subsequent potential for bearing capacity failures and/or differential settlement of dams, buildings, and other structures proposed by the United States Navy at their Weapons Research Center in China Lake, California. This study is meant to be a contribution to the work already being undertaken by the Geological Sciences group in an effort to respond to 'Project 2000;' a generalized site investigation of the base area outlining the Navy's potential for expansion through the year 2000. This potential map will be useful as a preliminary tool in identifying general areas of potential liquefaction and suggested design life criteria for the proposed structures in regards to dynamic stability of the soil. At the time of a site's proposal, depending on the project, a more detailed site investigation should be performed for any site where liquefaction is considered possible.
