09 March Liquefaction Elected Member Workshop SmartGrowth, TCC Chambers 10 April 2013 Lq. = Liquefaction effects ( inc. lateral spread) Ls= lateral spread ground damage

09 March Liquefaction – The Basics What is liquefaction? Some soils, when located below the ground water table, start acting like a liquid when they are severely shaken or vibrated.

09 March Liquefaction – The Basics What has to be present? A granular soil with little or no clay material in it The soil particles are mainly between 1 / 100 mm & 1 mm in size – “coarse silts” to “fine sands” Soil is under water Earthquake of large enough size Shaken not Stirred! … liquefaction

Non-liquefying Crust Liquefying Soil Crust thinning example Original Ground Surface Ground Water Level Phase 1 – Ground Surface Settlement Phase 2 – Structures Sink into the Ground (Bearing Capacity Failure)Phase 3 – Soil Regains its Original Strength (Resolidification)

09 March TCC What have we been doing?

09 March Received advice from Cat 1 geotechs – 1998 to 2002 GNS / Opus Microzoning Reports – 2003 and 2006 Compiled for Lifelines and planning purposes respectively – 500 & 2500yr return period e/quakes Used historic geo & GCR reports; very limited testing; large scale geo maps 4 quake sources – risk map based on Tga Local source Ground damage map for areas susceptible to Lq. – none, minor, limited, moderate, large, major, extensive Effect - minor < 100mm & small lateral spread; moderate 100mm – 300mm & < 50m significant Ls, 50 – 100m minor Ls; extensive > 300mm & < 50m extensive Ls, 50 – 200m significant LS; balance areas – very extensive Updated map compiled

What have we been doing? cont’d Geotech reporting – RC and s224 – short term Reviewed technical info – early 2012 Reviewed statutory requirements – RMA / BA 3 Geo-professional workshop – agreed proposed development approach and assessment criteria – April Developer / Building Industry workshop – reviewed & approach agreed 2 Meet - Firth RMA procedure – implemented – May 2012 (low compliance / development cost impact)

09 March Agreed Assessment Guideline Guideline published - NZ Geotech Society Guidance on –Site investigation, assessing, effects & remediation –soils properties based on past practice / experience / testing. Uses NZS 1170 to determine: –ground acceleration (7.5 quake); & –SLS (25 yr event, structure must be repairable) & ULS (500 yr event, structure not repairable but must not collapse)

09 March What’s next – TCC? Firth design solutions Firth / geo-professional workshop – review foundation design solns. Final internal review and sign off Re-present to Developer / Building Industry Set implementation date – educate Implement BA procedure – mid / late 2013 Undertake additional research work – verify 2002 / 2006 maps

SmartGrowth Review - Liquefaction Existing liquefaction maps (2003 / 2006) – show similar soils profiles to existing developed areas Likely ground conditions – sands, organic deposits, probable similar ground water levels – (Bell Road e.gs. - sand mining, RR application)

SG Review & Liquefaction cont’d. Future Work GNS Proposal – 3 fold –Update regional Lq / Ls maps (1 – 3yr) –Detailed Lq / Ls assessment for future urban –Detailed Lq / Ls assessment for existing urban ( both 3 – 20yr) Use 2002 / 2006 approach include Chch findings etc. Agree with approach – review timing

09 March Discussion / Questions
