b. Evidence of prehistoric earthquakes and tsunamis that may have
affected the site.

c. Map showing the location of seismic features relative to the
proposed project and an estimate of the amount of disturbance
relative to bedrock and surficial materials.


d. Selection for appropriate strong-motion attenuation relationships for
the site.

e. Published probabilistic estimate of earthquake occurrence.

f. Geodetic and strain measurement, microseismicity monitoring, or
other monitoring.

2. Interpretation of aerial photography and other available remotely sensed
images relative to the geology and earthquake history of the site, including
vegetation patterns, soil contrasts, and lineaments of possible fault origin.

3. Site investigation

a. Detailed field mapping of soils, geologic units and structures, and
topographic features indicative of faulting, such as sag ponds,
spring alignments, disrupted drainage systems, offset topographic
and geologic features, faceted spurs, vegetation patterns, and
deformation of buildings or other structures.

b. Review of local groundwater conditions including water depth and
elevation.

c. Trenching and other excavating to permit the detailed and direct
observation and logging of continuously exposed geologic units,
including soils and features that are relevant to seismic hazards.
Trenching should cross known or suspected active faults in order to
determine the location, timing, and recurrence rate of past
movements, the area disturbed, the physical condition of fault zone
materials, and the geometry of faulting.

d. Exploratory drilling and/or test pits designed to permit the collection
of data needed to evaluate the depth, thickness, and types of earth
materials and groundwater conditions that may identify past
seismicity or could contribute to damage potential at the site. Drill
holes and/or pits should be located and spaced sufficiently to allow
valid interpretations of the resulting data. Subsurface testing could
include Standard Penetration Tests (SPT), Cone Penetrometer
Tests (CPT), undisturbed tube samples, and collection of bulk
samples for laboratory testing.

e. Surface and subsurface geophysical surveys as appropriate to
determine the dynamic properties of the subsurface materials,
including shear-wave velocity, shear modulus, and damping.

4. Subsurface investigation

a. Laboratory testing of samples for moisture content, grain size,
density, dynamic properties, and other pertinent parameters

b. Radiometric analysis of geologic units, study of fossils, mineralogy,
soil-profile development, paleomagnetism, or other age-
determinating techniques to characterize the age of geologic units.

c. Estimates of expected magnitude, acceleration, and duration of
strong motion for the design earthquakes for crustal and intraplate
and interface subduction-zone sources and for other defined
earthquakes if required by statute or regulation of the proposed
project. The rationale for earthquake-source selection for the
relevant types of events should be provided. The design basis
earthquakes and ground acceleration maps available from the
State of Oregon should be consulted and described.

d. Determination of appropriate UBC site-specific soil-profile
coefficients.

e. Analytic dynamic soil response analyses to evaluate potential
amplification or attenuation of subsurface soil deposits to the
underlying bedrock motions.

f. Evaluation of the liquefaction potential of the subsurface deposits at
the site and, if applicable, estimation of liquefaction-induced
settlement and liquefaction-induced lateral spreading.

g. Evaluation of other seismic hazards, including earthquake-induced
landslides, generation of tsunamis or seiches, regional subsidence,
and fault displacement.

E. Conclusions and recommendation

1. Summarize the results of the seismic study, including the review of
regional seismicity, site investigations, selection of the design earthquakes,
and office analysis, including the evaluation of ground response,
liquefaction, landsliding, and tsunamis on the proposed structure and use
of the site. The report should be stamped and signed by a certified
engineering geologist or by a registered professional engineer
experienced in seismic hazard design or by both, when the work of each
can be clearly identified.

2. Recommendations for site development to mitigate seismic hazards. The
recommendations could include: ground modification to reduce
amplification of ground shaking or liquefaction-induced settlement and
lateral spreading potential, remedial treatment options for slope stability,
and foundation alternatives to minimize seismic impact to structure.

date, and index numbers.

features, seismic epicenters, and other pertinent data.

existing and proposed structures, graded and filled areas, streets, and
proposed and completed exploratory trenches, geophysical traverses, drill
holes, pits, and other relevant data.

topographic features, faults and other geologic structures, landslides,
lineaments, and springs.
