Description:
This project describes the development of a high-resolution near-surface soil model for the city of Alemda, CA using SCPT data and local geotechnical reports. This study focuses on the city of Alameda to illustrate the benefits of modeling near-surface soil characteristics to obtain high-fidelity site response analyses input parameters and can be used as a framework for using SCPT data and borehole reports to generate a probabilistic sub-surface soil model. This work can benefit the earthquake engineering community, particularly those involved in seismic ground shaking and liquefaction research.
