• liquefied soil modeled as factored p-y curves (0.10 p-multiplier)• 67% of the ultimate passive crust load is applied to the cap• no inertial loads are considered• performance criteria: piles remain elastic

Issues the Guidelines Team sought to address…
• Crust load–deformation behavior. How much deformation to reach ultimate passive pressure? Adjustments for non-plane strain behavior.• Prediction of crust displacement.• Potential restraining effect of the foundation.• Potential restraining effect of the superstructure.• Contribution of inertial loads to the foundation displacement demand.• More specific performance criteria
