RMC Seismic Suite

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Risk Management Center (RMC) developed a set of toolboxes to help dam and levee safety risk assessors assess the site class, post-process U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gridded seismic hazard curve datasets, assess embankment dam crest settlement and deformation, and assess liquefaction triggers.

RMC Site Classification Toolbox
 
RMC Seismic Hazard Curves Toolbox
 
RMC Liquefaction Toolbox
 
RMC Empirical Crest Deformation Toolbox
The spreadsheet tools contained in this toolbox assess the site classification based on the upper 100 feet of the site profile using the procedures of ASCE/SEI 7-16 and ASCE/SEI 7-22.  

The spreadsheet tools contained in this toolbox facilitate the downloading, importing, and processing of seismic hazard curve data from the USGS that describe the annual frequency of exceeding a set of ground motions for a range of spectral accelerations and PGA.

   ​The spreadsheet tools contained in this toolbox deterministically and probabilistically assess the likelihood of liquefaction triggering using the methods of Boulanger et al. and Cetin et al., post-liquefaction reconsolidation settlement using the method of Yoshimine et al. (2006), lateral spreading displacement using the method of Zhang et al. (2004), and residual undrained shear strength of liquefied soil using various empirical relationships for Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data.  

The spreadsheet tools contained in this toolbox assess the amount of settlement and deformation of embankment dams caused by earthquakes based on statistical analysis of empirical data from Swaisgood (2014). A searchable incident database of earthquake-induced deformation of embankment dams is also included.
