Dear Members,
can anyone be of assistance - I have been asked to find out earthquake
acceleration figures for an area in Oldham Gtr Manchester - does anyone know
where this information can be found.
The reason the requiring the information is that we propose to redevelop a
pulverised fuel ash (pfa) infilled quarry which is next to a major fault
line - we are concerned about the liquefaction possibilities of the pfa in
the event of seismic activity.
Also does anyone have any experience in driving piles through pfa - is there
any weird and wonderful problems anticipated with pile driving/design?
Thanks
Marc Fawcett
