Liquefaction Assessment

This overview introduces a series of six papers describing the approach taken in a recent dam safety study to evaluate the liquefaction potential and deformation behaviour for the current seismic setting of Duncan Dam. The dam was originally designed and built in the mid-1960s and is an embankment structure founded on a thick sequence of glacial sediments. The papers were initially presented by a team of B.C. Hydro and their consultants at a specialty session held at the 46th Annual Canadian Conference in Saskatoon in September 1993. The papers provide an excellent summary of the current state of practice in evaluating liquefaction and post-liquefaction behaviour. Key words : embankment, liquefaction, seismic, specialty session.
