    Very soft soil but high relative compaction?

    Thank for the answers. First let me describe this project in a little bit more detail. This is a pretty big fill area for structures (approx 2000 ft x 2000 ft) close to a port.

    Lateral Spreading of Coastal Slopes

    The lateral spreading results calculated using the equation of Youd (2002, see ASCE 2002 October version) and other methods are quite different. A same CA coastal slope lateral spread using Youd’s equation say, is 100 feet, while using Newmark analysis or Markdisi & Seed chart resulted a lateral...
