Implementation of the New Performance-Based Seismic Design Guidelines for High Consequence Dikes in Southwestern British Columbia, Canada and Challenges Faced
Abstract eng: This paper presents an overview of the basis and methodologies proposed for seismic design of High Consequence Dikes in Southwestern British Columbia, Canada and challenges faced during implementing the Guidelines for two local dikes constructed over a thick deposit of liquefiable sands. The Guidelines adopt a combination of traditional and performancebased design criteria for the seismic design of dikes. Dike seismic performance is specified in terms of measureable indicators such as crest displacement and settlement of the dike structure. The methodologies and criteria were established following a review of practices currently followed in other regions of the world that are also prone to high seismic hazards.
