Resource Abstract:
Preliminary maps of liquefaction susceptibility for the Renton and Auburn 7.5' quadrangles, Washington, Open File Report 92-7.
Liquefaction susceptibility maps are presented for the Renton and Auburn 7.5' topographic quadrangles. These maps are based
on analyses of 140 geotechnical borings; these data were obtained from the Washington Department of Transportation and the
King County Department of Building and Land Development. Four categories of geologic deposits found in the study area are
assigned a susceptibility ranking on the basis of analysis of the geotechnical data and historical reports of liquefaction
during the 1949 magnitude 7.1 Olympia and 1965 magnitude 6.5 Seattle-Tacoma earthquakes.
