I.O INTRODUCTIONANDEXECUTIVESUhhMARY
I. I INTRODUCTION
Traditionally the emergency planning process has focused on singular events or
categories of events to develop and organize appropriate emergency response
activities. The exigencies of each event class challenge the applicable emergen-
cy plan in unique ways —the resources required, the organizations responsible,
the time frame of interest, the geographical region impacted. But it has always
been recognized that, first, every emergency plan represents a base that can be
expanded or contracted in response to the actual emergency and second, that
~ each emergency plan establishes a response capability with a significant degree
of transferability to events other than those specifically the subject of the plan.
ln fact, a fundamental premise of planning is to avoid narrowly addressing
specific scenarios and thereby to provide the most effective overall capability.
This report expands the envelope of current emergency planning by considering
the potential interactions of a severe natural event, a large earthquake, with the
functioning of emergency plans for a radiological emergency at a nuclear power
plant. Earthquakes and radiological emergencies are individually addressed by
local, state, and federal plans and planning requirements. In addition, earth-
quakes are considered initiatory events for nuclear plant radiological plans. Not
coincidentally, the separate plans addressing each event provide a considerable
response capability for the combined events. Thus, it is expected that these
separate, "specialty" plans should remain the basic planning tools. This report
examines some of the detailed interactions of a combined event, and establishes
a framework for coordination and optimization of emergency response capa-
bility.
Several natural phenomena, including earthquakes, are specified as initiating
events for nuclear power plant emergency plans in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-I,
"Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response
Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants." The PGandE
Emergency Plan currently considers the spectrum of possible earthquakes by
B-8l-269
TERA CORPORATION
their inclusion as initiating events for the four classes of Emergency ActionLevels. The PGandE plan also includes onsite instrumentation for monitoring ofseismic activity. Additionally, a general capability exists to respond to the most
likely and frequent levels of seismic activity (e.g., earthquakes of magnitude 5
or 6) through basic emergency planning performed by the public sector. For
example, the San Luis Obispo Seismic Elements of l974 provide basic. technical
information to describe and respond to potential earthquake damage.
For larger earthquakes discussed herein, much of the preparedness that currentlyexists due to radiological emergency planning should allow response by extension
of the basic planning. Additionally, state and federal earthquake response plans
(e.g., State of California 'Earthquake Response. Plan" reprinted April l98l and
FEMA Region IX Federal Earthquake Plan, l 979), provide a level of preparedness
to respond to the effects of the large (magnitude 7.5) earthquake postulated forthe design of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP). Such a large earthquake,
regardless of whether a coincident radiological emergency exists, might exhaust
the resources. of local authorities, thus requiring action by both state and federal
authorities.
The study described herein was specifically prepared to respond to. the NRC
request of December l6, l980 for evaluation of the potential complications in
emergency planning resulting from an earthquake which could either initiate orfollow the initiation of accidents at the Diablo. Canyon site. As such, we
addressed three. principal subject areas identified in the NRC letter.- The firstarea involves estimating the potential ground motion within the evacuation
planning area and the resultant likely earthquake damage to transportation and
communication systems. This effort relied upon the extensive seismologicalstudies presented in the Diablo Canyon seismic hearings (Atomic Safety and
Licensing Board and Atomic Licensing Appeal Board) as well as additionalinvestigations conducted to estimate the structural damage to transportation and
communication systems that might be used in an emergency. Decisions
regarding evacuations after an earthquake would likely require consideration ofconditions differing from those presented in the PGandE Emergency Plan. Thus,
the second area involves an evaluation of the impact of a spectrum of. potential
B-8l-269 l-2
TERA CORPORAllON
earthquake damage levels on evacuation time estimates..This effort utilized a
realistic simulation model of the evacuation route network including the dynamic
effects of traffic congestion and control.
The third area identifies revised planning concepts intended to facilitate the.
response of local authorities to the complicating effects of a large earthquake on
a radiological emergency. As with all planning, periodic review and upgrading of
these concepts is required to assure a dynamic planning status. In this case, we
have identified a major revision to response dictated by the combined seismic
and radiological emergencies; however, the continued development of earthquake
response plans by federal, state and local authorities will necessitate revision
and cross-reference to their respective radiological emergency preparedness
plans. Annual review and updating of radiological planning is assured by federal
requirements.
I.'2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The study focused. on two areas where the most significant earthquake interac-tions would be manifested: transportation and communications. The study also
establishes a conceptual framework for an "earthquake response plan" which
addresses both the response to the complicating eFfects of damage as well as
advanced planning concepts to deal with the duality of a radiological and
earthquake emergency. The specific evaluations rest on the assumption of a
7.S magnitude surface wave located on the Hosgri fault. The specific earthquake
postulated is not considered to be particularly crucial as for the most part the
study proceeded and, in fact, endeavored to generalize the initiating events.
Due to the complexity of a combined emergency, it was important to develop a
detailed data base on earthquake-generated damage. In doing so, it is not
contended that such damage can be deterministically predicted; rather, it is to-amplify our understanding of the likely nature and extent of damage as a basis
for rational planning decisions. In recognition of the range of possible earth-
quake ground motion, the range of effects over a geographical area due to thatground motion, and the variable response of individual structures and geologic
B-SI-269 l-3
TERA CORPORATION
formations with respect to a given earthquake input, the data base was actuallytriplicated to encompass three defined damage levels. These are Level I as an
optimistic evaluation, Level 2 as a best estimate, and Level 3 as a pessimistic,evaluation. The terms minor, ~ex ected, and ~ma or are also used interchangeablyto characterize these levels. Again, the value of this tiered approach is not tobe viewed in terms of a predictive capability but in the achievement of a,
generalized and adaptive data base to be used in planning and in responding tothe event actually encountered.
e
For road systems the data base considered two principal damage mechanisms:
ground failure resulting in soil liquefaction underneath the road beds or landslid-
ing onto the roadways, and structural or settlement damage to bridges and
overpasses. Each bridge in the evacuation routes was evaluated as to its design
and the types of damage likely to be sustained. For landsliding and liquefaction,the full traverse of each highway was surveyed to locate potential liquefactionsites, and to assess the likelihood of such liquefaction and the extent ofencroachment of slide material on the highway or damage to the highway due toground subsidence. In addition, estimates were made of the expected times and
required resources to repair each item of damage and restore the road toservice.
The data base for earthquake damage also included information on the suscepti-
bilityof essential communications equipment to earthquake forces. The types ofdamage that could interrupt communications include loss of electrical power,loss of telephone lines, loss of buildings housing the equipment, loss of equipmentwithin the building and loss of antennae towers.
From a planning perspective, damage to transportation and communicationssystems reflects most directly on the selection and implementation of protectiveactions. Protective action decisions for the combined radiological/earthquakeemergency would benefit from a pre-analysis of evacuation times representativeof the degraded conditions likely to be encountered. Therefore, analyses wereundertaken using a computer simulation technique that dynamically modeled theflow of cars through the evacuation network. A flexible menu of evacuationoptions and strategies were considered to minimize the impacts of damage to the
B-8l-269 I-4
TERA CORPORATION
road system. Evacuation times were computed for the range of damage levels
contained in the data base. A matrix was then prepared (Table 4-2) correlating
evacuation times, damage levels and extent of evacuation (i.e., partial versus
total). This matrix represents a distillation of the detailed analyses performed in
the study and effectively coalesces the decision-making process for protective
action.
The final step in the study was to design a planning structure that would have at
its core the modified protective action matrix and which would implement the
various survey, assessment, and coordination functions necessary to sustain the
decision process. The plan has been formulated such that emergency functions
related to each type of event (i.e., radiological and earthquake) proceed largely
in parallel, with provisions made for (I) prioritizing actions where necessary,
(2) coordinating key organizations, and (3) synthesizing data and decisions to
adequately reflect the contingencies of each emergency.
In addition to the development of the damage data base, evacuation matrix, and
response plan, this study provided more refined insights into emergency planning
for these combined events. The conclusions able to be reached are perhaps as (or
more) important than the specific results. They are as follows:
I. Even on a pessimistic basis, a large earthquake in thestudy area would not be expected to result in totalneutralization of emergency response capabilities. This isattributable to the inherent resistance of much of thephysical equipment and structures involved and the diver-sity of capabilities provided by redundant and separatemeans of transport and communications.
2. Evacuation, as a protective action option, is availablewithin a reasonable time for most geographic areas undermost damage conditions. The availability of evacuation isenhanced considerably by pre-analyses of potential dam-age and repair resources, and the establishment of plansto survey, assess and repair damage and to utilize avail-able evacuation routes in a maximum manner.
3. Emergency planning must be considered as an evolvingprocess and in the context of other related plans andevents. The detailed assessment of earthquake effects

and conceptual plan provided in this study are at perhapsthe leading edge of planning for these types ofemergencies. Planning resources and attention should bedistributed such that local, state and federal emergencyplanning is conducted in an integrated and harmoniousmanner.

2.0 STUDY, AREAS
From a natural disaster viewpoint, large earthquakes are somewhat unique in
their ability to challenge simultaneously a variety of emergency responsefunctions over a wide geographic area. To provide the technical basis to developsite specific planning, we conducted a detailed study of the expected effectsthat a large earthquake occurring on the Hosgri fault would have on the areawithin about I 5 miles of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (Figure 2- la, b).
This geographic area is called the Basic Emergency Planning Zone and was
chosen for detailed evaluation since it is the area where one expects that thecombined effects of a radiological and earthquake emergency would be encoun-tered. The effects of a large earthquake could be experienced over an extendedarea. Earthquake effects over such an extended area are addressed in state andfederal earthquake plans. Radiological emergency planning requirements focuson an approximate IO-mile zone for the radiological plume exposure pathway.Therefore, the study area was selected to envelop the most likely complicatingeffects that an earthquake would have on radiological planning.
This study of earthquake emergency planning was able to focus on a single,specified large earthquake for two reasons: (I) the specific earthquake that wasconsidered is the most logical one to be involved in a combined radio-logical/earthquake emergency and (2) the planning concepts determined to be
appropriate are not particularly sensitive to the choice of earthquake size orlocation.
There are a variety of faults within San Luis Obispo County; however, only th'reeare considered capable of generating major earthquakes (Envicom, l 974). Thelargest earthquake, of surface wave magnitude 8.0 to 8.5, is believed to becapable of occurring on the San Andreas fault, which is located approximately60 kilometers northeast of the city of San Luis Obispo and approximately80 kilometers from the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The maximum magnitudethat has been assigned to the Hosgri fault is a surface wave magnitude of 7.5.
B-8l-269 2-I
TERA CORPORATION
This large earthquake would pose the greatest hazard to the coastal areas since
it is located offshore approximately-6 kilometers southwest of DCPP and
approximately 25 kilometers from the city of San Luis,Obispo. The Rinconada
fault trend is believed to be capable of generating a surface wave magnitude 7.0to 7.5 earthquake. Due to its location some I5 kilometers northwest of the cityof San Luis Obispo and 35kilometers from DCPP, a large earthquake on thisfault would pose the greatest hazard to San Luis Obispo and the mountainous
areas lying just northeast of the city.
For this study the postulated magnitude 7.5 earthquake on the Hosgri fault was
used as the basis for developing damage scenarios and investigating evacuation
times. This earthquake was chosen because of its use as the seismic design basis
for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant and its dominant seismic hazard to the plant.Furthermore, the use of this large earthquake was responsive to the directives ofFEMA and NRC. The hypothesized earthquakes on the San Andreas and
Rinconada faults pose a substantially lesser hazard to DCPP because the peakaccelerations from either are expected to be only 30 percent of those expectedfrom the Hosgri earthquake. Therefore, one would expect that the probability ofa concurrent radiological emergency with either of these two earthquakes wouldbe much less than that with the Hosgri earthquake.
The planning concepts identified in this study are not particularly sensitive tothe choice of the Hosgri earthquake due to the large variability in damage that is
expected from this particular earthquake. This diversity in damage compre-hensively challenges emergency plans and requires them to be extremelyflexible. In fact, the variety of damage and evacuation scenarios simulated inthis study largely envelop those expected for the other two hypothesizedearthquakes, the main difference being the relative likelihood of specificscenarios. For instance, the proximity of the Rinconada fault to US. IOI Northwould require considering an alternate evacuation to the northwest and south-west along the coast under conditions of light-to-moderate damage in the eventof this hypothesized earthquake. Therefore, since the hypothesized largeoffshore earthquake poses the greatest hazard to DCPP, is responsive to FEMAand NRC directives, encompasses the effects expected from other major
B-8l-269 2-2
TERA CORPORATION
earthquakes in the area, and does not control the development of emergency
plans, we believe that it is the only earthquake that need be considered in detail
for this study.
The principal earthquake effects considered in this study'are those on the
transportation and communication systems. Obviously, the major earthquake
postulated in this study would produce other effects of concern to local
authorities, including fire damage, potential fatalities and injuries. Mitigation ofthese other effects is the goal to which most earthquake response plans have
been directed and are therefore not repeated here.
Transportation of both emergency materials and personnel, as well as the
protective evacuation of the public, are key requirements for effective radiolog-
ical emergency response and ones which an earthquake might significantlyaffect. Disruption of the communications systems due to earthquake effects
could also prevent effective emergency response. This necessitated an evalu-
ation of both transportation and communication systems including a detailed
review of the local road network and communications equipment that would most
likely be required to function in a radiological emergency. We did not attemptto address the non-radiological preparedness that should be included in local
earthquake response planning. However, some of these data and the approaches
described herein might be useful for that purpose.
To a very large measure our evaluation of earthquake effects was not deter-
ministic, but recognized the stochastic nature of earthquake damage. Addi-
tionally, it was believed that a range of potential damage levels would be useful
to consider in developing planning concepts and guidelines. In this way, the truestochastic nature of potential earthquake effects are captured and a range ofprotective action guidelines are formulated. One should also note that such a
spectrum of damage locations and levels is not artificially imposed due toresource constraints or to satisfy planning goals. The spectrum of damage
represents our evaluation of each bridge and roadway within the study area and
consideration of their potential response to the forces of a magnitude 7.5
earthquake.
B-8I-269 2-3
TERA CORPORATION
The transportation network model developed for estimating the effect of damageon evacuation times is somewhat different from that originally developed and
used in the radiological plans. This model includes the dynamic effects of trafficcongestion and control. For the conditions included in the current radiologicalplans, we would predict similar times using similar assumptions. We have, infact, used essentially all of the input data developed by Voorhees (l980) for thoseestimates. However, in evaluating the effects of seismic damage, such as delaysdue to bridge repair or landslide clearing, transient times on individual sectionsof road becomes important. Additionally, we found it useful to consider morelimited protective actions, such as partial or staged evacuation of the populationwithin l0 miles of the plant or in the downwind directions should heavy damagebe inflicted to evacuation routes. These considerations led us to the develop-ment of a dynamic evacuation model.
Based upon the results of these studies, we developed revised planning conceptsto address combined seismic and radiological emergencies. A key revision in thisplanning is the need to survey the post-earthquake damage and allocateresources to repair communications and roadways prior to decisions on pro-tective actions. Such an approach would be useful in dealing with anycombination of natural phenomena and radiological accident.
The general properties of earthquakes, the types of hazards they create and theexpected effects from the large earthquake postulated in this study aredescribed in Section 3.1 of this report. The principal earthquake hazardsaffecting the transportation systems and the potential for ground failure andstructural failure are presented in Section 3.2. Section 4 describes the evacu-ation model developed, evacuation scenarios analyzed and evacuation timeestimates. Section 5 presents our evaluation of communication systems in thestudy area, including that of PGandE, Pacific Telephone, and the County andEmergency Broadcast Systems. Section 6 provides our recommended planningconcepts for addressing a combined earthquake and radiological accident.
Much of the detailed survey information compiled in our investigation is includedin Appendices to this report. Additional detailed description of our geologic and

engineering evaluation methods is also provided. Several of the detailed maps,
identifying potential seismic hazard areas, might be effective for inclusion in the
procedures for damage assessment reporting and subsequent repair activities.

3.0 EARTHQUAKEEFFECTS
3. I GENERAL EARTHQUAKEEFFECTS
3.l.l EARTHQUAKE DESCRIPTION
Shallow crustal earthquakes, the type common to California, occur as a result of
a sudden break and movement of the rock in response to stress build-up in the
Earth's crust. This sudden movement generates seismic waves that propagate
through the crust and manifest at the Earth's surface as ground shaking. The
break occurs along a zone of weakness in the crust known as a fault or fault
plane. It initiates at a specific location on the fault called the hypocenter, then
propagates along the fault for some finite distance. The area of the fault plane
involved in the break is known as the rupture zone and the point on the surface
of the Earth directly above the hypocenter is referred to as the epicenter.
There are three basic mechanisms that describe the faulting process: strike-slip,
reverse (or thrust), and normal. These mechanisms refer to the relative
direction of movement of the rock on opposite sides of the fault with respect tothe orientation of the fault. This orientation is described in terms of the strike
and dip of the fault plane, the strike being the direction of the surface trace ofthe fault usually given as the azimuth, and the dip being the angle between the
fault plane and the surface of the Earth. As an example, a fault described as
striking N45oW and dipping 85o refers to a fault whose surface trace is oriented
in a northwest-southeast direction and whose fault plane is nearly vertical.
A strike-slip mechanism is faulting in which the rocks on opposite sides of the
fault move horizontally with respect to one another in the direction of the strike
of the fault. Most major faults in California, including the San Andreas, are of
this type, with the l979 Imperial Valley earthquake being a recent example of
this type of faulting. The other two mechanisms refer to faulting in which the
relative movement of the rocks on opposite sides of the fault is in the direction
of the dip of the fault plane, which is generically referred to as dip-slip
movement. In this respect, a reverse (or thrust) mechanism refers to dip-slip
B-8l-269 3-I
TERA CORPORATION
movement in which the opposite sides of the fault move towards one another,
with one side overriding the other in response to compressional forces. The I 97l
San Fernando earthquake was an example of this type of faulting. A normal
mechanism refers to dip-slip movement in which the opposite sides of the faultmove away from one another in response to extensional forces. The Foothill
fault system, located along the western edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is
representative of this type of faulting, with a recent example being the l975
Oroville earthquake. Faulting in which relatively equal amounts of strike-slip
and dip-slip motion occur is referred to as oblique-slip movement. Geological
evidence indicates that the predominant movement of the Hosgri fault is strike-
slip, similar to faults of the San Andreas system.
Earthquakes commonly occur in clusters called earthquake sequences. The
'argestor outstanding earthquake of the sequence is known as the mainshock.
Although not so common to California, multiple mainshocks of nearly the same
size and separated by hours, days, or sometimes weeks may occur. Foreshocks
usually precede the mainshock by several days to several months. Relatively few
in number, they tend to cluster in a few isolated areas within the eventual
rupture zone, the largest concentration usually occurring in the immediate
vicinity of the hypocenter. Immediately following the mainshock, a large
number of smaller earthquakes called aftershocks occur. Depending on the size
of the mainshock, aftershock sequences can last as long as several months to
several years; however, as time goes on, both their size and their number
diminish. Although not as large as the mainshock, foreshocks and aftershocks in
many cases can cause as much damage locally as the mainshock. Aftershocks
are especially serious, since manmade structures, as well as natural deposits thathave been weakened by the mainshock, are highly susceptible to further damage.
There are various-measures available that characterize the size of an earth-
quake. The most common of these is earthquake magnitude, a standard measure
related to the logarithm of the amplitude of ground motion resulting from an
earthquake. For smaller earthquakes in California, local Richter magnitude (ML)is used as the standard measure of magnitude and is the value generally reported
by the seismographic stations at Berkeley and Pasadena. For larger earthquakes

worldwide, surface wave magnitude (M ) is generally used as the standard.smeasure of magnitude. As a general rule, magnitude values exceeding 6.8 to 7.0
represent surface wave magnitude due to limitations of the other magnitude
scales. For the. purposes of this study a surface wave magnitude 7.5 earthquakewas postulated to occur on the Hosgri fault with the center of the rupturelocated offshore approximately six kilometers from DCPP.
Other measures of the size of an earthquake include epicentral intensity, area ofthe rupture zone and seismic moment. Epicentral intensity is a measure of thelargest degree of damage sustained during the earthquake (the intensity scale is
discussed in a later section). This zone of greatest damage is usually confined tothe vicinity of the rupture zone and, hence, the term epicentral intensity has
been historically used to refer to the observed maximum intensity. The area ofthe rupture zone can vary from as little as several square meters for very small
earthquakes to as large as several thousand square kilometers for the largestearthquakes that can occur in California. Seismic moment is a measure of theearthquake size that depends only on the physical mechanism of the source. It is
related to the overall energy or force of the earthquake.
3.1.2 EARTHQUAKEHAZARDS
The primary natural hazards from an earthquake are ground shaking and groundrupture along the surface trace of the fault rupture zone. Secondary naturalhazards are ' result of the above-named hazards and include landslides,
liquefaction, settlement, tsunamis, seiches, lurching and'round shaking. The
interaction of these natural hazards with manmade structures generates thepotential for structural hazards. These include the collapse or destruction ofbuildings, bridges, towers, smoke stacks and piers; the failure'f retainingstructures such as dams, reservoirs, tanks, pipelines, canals, dikes, earthretaining walls and sea walls; and the failure or movement of equipment such as
pumps, valves, electrical equipment, machinery, piping, and furniture.
The natural seismic haza'rds,of major concern to radiological emergency planningin the study area are 'ground shaking, landslides, liquefaction, settlement and
B-8I-269 3-3
TERA CORPORATION
tsunami. The most widespread hazard affecting the study area is ground shaking.
Although the characterization of this hazard, is, discussed in the next section,
some fundamental properties are discussed here. Ground shaking results from
seismic waves that are generated by the sudden movement of rock along opposite
sides of'the fault. As the waves travel away from the rupture surface, their
amplitude decays (i.e., attenuates) due to the energy absorption properties of
rock and soil through which they travel and the dispersion of the energy with
area., Since the waves originate at all points along the rupture zone of the fault,
the distance most appropriate for characterizing the amplitude of the seismic
wave or ground shaking at a specific location is the shortest distance between
the site and the rupture zone.
Strong ground motion refers to ground shaking of sufficient amplitude to be
considered important to the performance and safety of manmade structures.
The instrument used to record strong motion is the accelerograph.. It was
designed to measure and 'record the time history of the acceleration of the
ground, called an accelerogram, because of the use of acceleration by engineers
in the design of structures. They are nominally set to start recording when
accelerations exceed one percent of gravity (.Ol g), although strong motion is
commonly thought to be ground motion in excess of five percent of gravity(.05 g). The accelerograph records acceleration time histories in three directions
called components. Two components are oriented to record motion in the
horizontal plane, orthogonal to one another, while the third component is
oriented to record motion in the vertical plane. The three components taken
together serve as a three-dimensional description of ground motion.
Due to the hilly topography of the study area, landslides are a major potentialhazard for evacuation, especially during the rainy season. The actual number
and location of landslides expected to occur along evacuation routes throughout
the study area during a major earthquake on the Hosgri fault is discussed in
detail in Section 3.2 and the appendix on ground failure. Due to the dominance
of the strike-slip mechanism of faulting expected on the Hosgri, large areas of
tectonic settlement are not expected to occur. The greatest hazard forsettlement comes from artificial fills, especially thick bridge abutments and
road fills, which tend to compact and spread laterally under seismic shaking.
B-8 l-269 3-4

Liquefaction is a term used to describe the loss of strength of a saturated soil
deposit due to an increase in pore water pressure caused by ground shaking. This
loss in strength can result in ground failure such as landslides and lateral spreads
or result in a loss. of foundation support for manmade structures. Due to the
large number of water crossings and the presence of soil deposits with shallow
water tables along evacuation routes, liquefaction has been identified as a majorpotential'azard affecting the safe evacuation of the study area. Specificdetails regarding the number and location of liquefaction areas along evacuation
routes throughout the study area during a major earthquake on the Hosgri faultmay be found in Section 3.2 and the appendix on ground failure.
A tsunami is a tidal wave which is generated by rapid vertical displacement ofocean water either from tectonic movements associated with faulting or bysubmarine landslides. The strike-slip mechanism of faulting expected on the
Hosgri would preclude the tectonic generation of a tsunami since the horizontalmovement of the ocean floor associated with this type of faulting would not
displace ocean water. (Note that the most recent analysis reported in
Section 2.4 of the FSAR conservatively postulates for design basis purposes a
vertical displacement of 7.33 feet on the Hosgri fault leading to the generation ofa tsunami. The very conservative assumptions contained in the FSAR were not
considered to be applicable for planning purposes.) There is, however, a remote
possibility of a tsunami generated by a submarine landslide triggered by the
earthquake. Large submarine landslides, however, have been observed togenerate only relatively small, local tsunamis presumably due to their failuremechanism, their poor efficiency in generating tsunami energy, and the rela-.tively small amount of potential energy available for tsunami generation (Wiegel,
l975). The effects of such a tsunami, therefore, would be expected to be
relatively localized with waves sufficiently small so as not to interfere with theevacuation of the study area.
3.I.3 CHARACTERISTICS AND PREDICTIONOF STRONG GROUND MOTION
The accelerogram, while providing a complete description of strong motion, is
extremely difficult and expensive to use in design, since it requires complex
B-8 I-269 3-5
TERA CORPORATION
mathematical models and procedures. Therefore, design engineers over the
years have developed techniques that rely upon certain parameters characteris-
tic of the actual acceleration time histories. The parameters most commonly
used are peak ground acceleration (PGA) and response spectral ordinates.
Peak acceleration is simply the maximum acceleration value recorded by the
accelerograph and is usually reported as three peak values,'ne for each
component. Response spectral ordinates are somewhat more complex in nature,
but similar in principle to PGA. 'A response spectral ordinate is the maximum
response of a single-degree-of-freedom system (e.g., a pendulum), having a given
natural frequency and damping, to a specific acceleration time history input atits base. The response of the system is commonly described in terms of a
velocity time history,- more specifically, the velocity at the top of the system
relative to the velocity at its base. When these spectral ordinates are computed
for a suite of single-degree-of-freedom systems of various natural frequencies,
all having the same damping, and plotted as a function of frequency, the result is
what engineers refer to as a response spectrum.
Two other parameters typically used by engineers are intensity and duration.
Intensity is a non-instrumental measure of the earthquake effects at a particularlocation given in terms of the response of humans, manmade structures and the
natural environment. By its very nature, it serves as a subjective measure of the
severity of the ground motion at a specific location. Its usefulness stems fromits non-instrumental source, which allows the quantification of the severity ofground motion in areas lacking accelerographs, and in many cases is a more
accurate measure of the level of damage than are some instrumental measures
of ground motion. The standard measure of intensity in the United States is
Modified Mercalli intensity, a twelve-level scale specified in ter'ms of Roman
numerals I,through XII, with XII being the most severe level of earthquake
effects.
Duration is a measure of the length of time over which strong motion is
observed. It is an important characteristic of ground motion when considering
time-degrading systems subject to strain softening or fatigue. Examples of such
B-8I-269 3-6
TERA CORPORATION
systems are natural soil deposits, soil structures and manmade structures subject
to nonlinear behavior. Although several measures of duration exist, one of the
most simple and common measures is bracketed duration. It represents the time
over which the first and last occurrence of a specified level of acceleration,
ysually five percent of gravity (.05 g), is observed.
Peak acceleration and duration were the two strong-motion parameters used in
the evacuation study, so the prediction of these parameters will be discussed
briefly. Due to the proximity of the source of the design earthquake to the study
area, a relationship for predicting near-source acceleration's recently developed
at TERA Corporation (Campbell, l980; l98I) was used to predict the level of
peak acceleration to be expected at specific locations.
This relationship was developed from strong-motion data recorded within 50 kilo-meters of the rupture zone from selected worldwide earthquakes of magni-
tudes S.O to 7.7. The data base used in the study was assembled using criteriadesigned to select only consistent and quality data in the range of magnitudes
and distances of interest for most design applications. It consists of 229 horizon-
tal components (I l6 records) of peak acceleration from 27 earthquakes, including
the October I S, I 979, Imperial Valley earthquake. A weighted, nonlinear
regression analysis was used to establish 'the relationship, where weights were
used to control the effects of well-recorded events such as the l979 Imperial
Valley and I 97 I San Fernando earthquakes.
The relationship resulting from the regression analysis is given by the following
equation:
PGA = .Ol 59 Exp (.868M) R + .0606 Exp (.700M)
where PGA represents the mean of the peak acceleration values from the two
horizontal components from each recording in fractions of the acceleration of
gravity (g), M is magnitude, and R is closest distance to the fault rupture zone in
kilometers. Magnitude is defined as local Richter magnitude (ML) for magni-
tudes less than 6.0 and surface wave magnitude (M ) for magnitudes of 6.0 ors
B-8 I-269 3-7
TERA CORPORATION
greater. Peak acceleration was found to be lognormally distributed with a
standard error representing a 45-percent increase in the median estimate as
given by the above equation. Predictions from Equation I were found to be valid
for both soil and rock.
Bracketed duration, based on a threshold of .0.05g, was predicted from an
expression developed by McGuire and Barnhard (l979). They used 50strong-
motion records from earthquakes of local Richter magnitude (ML) 4.5 to 7.2,
recorded at distances of 6 to 2l8 kilometers, to establish a relationship between
bracketed duration and magnitude, distance, geology type and component type.
Distance was defined as either closest distance to the rupture zone when
available or epicentral distance. Their equation for the duration of the
horizontal component is given by
D = .000452 Exp (2.0M+.20S) R (2)
where D is duration in seconds, M is local Richter magnitude (ML), S is 0.0 for
rock and l.0 for alluvium and R is distance in kilometers. The duration expected
at San Luis Obispo, located on alluvium some 25kilometers from an M 7.5
(roughly equal to ML 6.9) earthquake on the Hosgri fault, would be about
IOseconds using this expression. This value would be reduced by about
l 8 percent for rock at the same distance. Using Equation l, this same site would
be expected to experience a peak horizontal acceleration of roughly 0.2 g. Sites
located about 10 kilometers from the fault would be expected to experience a
peak acceleration of approximately 0.4g and a duration on alluvium of approxi-
mately 30 seconds.

3.2 EARTHQUAKE EFFECTS ON TRANSPORTATION
In this section we analyze the potential effects on transportation of an earth-
quake of surface wave magnitude 7.5 occurring on the offshore Hosgri fault. The
earthquake-induced effects considered are landslides, liquefaction, bridge dam-
age or failure, and flooding from dam failure or tsunami that might reduce the
traffic capacity of highways.
3.2.1 BACKGROUND
3.2.I. I EARTHQUAKE LOADING
A magnitude 7.5 earthquake on the Hosgri fault would result in widespread
ground shaking of long duration (over IO seconds) in the study area. Such an
earthquake would generate a fault rupture of over 60 km with such a large area
of energy release that the ground shaking would attenuate inversely in proportionwith distance to the linear trend of the ruptured area of fault. The ground
motion model used to predict peak ground acceleration throughout the region is
based on previous work by TERA (Campbell, l980; l98l) specifically developed
for such applications.
From a planning viewpoint, one must expect that the damage patterns resulting
from even a major earthquake, such as the magnitude 7.5 postulated here, could
vary significantly within the study area. A contour map of expected peak ground
acceleration, based on Equation I, for a magnitude 7.5 earthquake on the Hosgri
fault is presented in Figures 3-la and 3-lb. A large amount of uncertainty is
associated with the'level of ground motion and duration for any given earthquake
and, correspondingly, the potential damage resulting from its occurrence. This is
not only because the amplitude of ground shaking is systematically decreasing
with distance from the fault, but because observed ground motion, at the same
distance from an earthquake fault, can vary by as much as 45 percent or more.
Therefore, three levels of damage have been modelled to more realisticallyaccount for these uncertainties, and to provide for the greater flexibility in
planning options that these uncertainties require. Level I corresponds to an
B-8I-269 3-9
TERA CORPORATION
optimistic estimation of the damage and can be considered as a lower bound ofthe expected damage from a magnitude 7.5 earthquake. Level 2 is a best
estimate, while level 3 represents a pessimistic damage estimate. We also use
the terms "minor," "expected," or "major" to describe these damage estimates.
Therefore, the three damage levels represent a spectrum of possible damage thatcould occur, even though the systematic effects of attenuation of PGA withdistance and localized damage potentials (e.g., individual bridge designs) have
been considered.
In general, we have identified two major damage mechanisms that could affectthe road network in the study area: 'I) ground failure resulting in soil
liquefaction underneath the road beds and landsliding onto the roadways, and
(2) structural and settlement damage to bridges and overpasses. The procedure
for damage assessment is presented in the following sections.
In a later section of this report, we briefly discuss possible earthquake-induced
flooding damage from either dam failures or tsunami. It was not possible withinthe scope of this study, nor necessary from the planning concepts presented, toconduct detailed damage assessments from these causes.,The potential damage
areas are localized to the areas downstream of the dams, and most likely the
damage would have the same net effect on transportation routes as one of the
three damage levels discussed below.

3.2.1.2 DAMAGEDUE TO GROUND FAILURE
Landslides - Overview
Earthquake-induced landslides differ from conventional landslides by their geo-
metry, failure mechanism, and type of sliding. Conventional landslides are
caused by water infiltrating a slope after rainfall which reduces the shear
strength (i.e., cohesion and friction) of weathered rock and soil material. In
addition, the water increases the weight of the slide mass and decreases the
confining effects at. the toe of the slope. Once the shear strength of the
material is exceeded, the slide mass moves downward in response to gravity.
Earthquake-induced landslides are trigger'ed by energy developed by the earth-
quake in the form of ground shaking.. The shaking, depending on its intensity and
duration, weakens and eventually loosens rock and soil materials, resulting in
downslope movement. These landslides are mostly confined to surficial failures
and result in rock falls, rock slides, soil falls, and soil debris. Very few deep-
seated rotational block glides or slump failures have been observed as a result ofearthquake shaking.
The controlling factors needed to trigger landslides are the intensity and
duration of the ground shaking and the steepness of the slope. The potential is
increased when steep slopes are underlain by low density, weathered, weakly
cemented soils and/or highly fractured bedrock. There are indications that rain
saturation has little or no additional adverse effect on slopes that would
otherwise be susceptible to earthquake-induced failures (Harp, I 98 I).
Seismic-induced landslides normally occur with the initial shock of an earth-
quake. However, in some cases the initial shock may only loosen or weaken rock
or soil material on a slope, while subsequent aftershocks may eventually cause
failure. To compound the problem, heavy rain following a major earthquake
might cause failure of slopes that were originally weakened by the initial shock.
B-SI-269 3-I3
TERA CORPORATION
Studies by Wilson (l978) of the August l3, l978, Santa Barbara earthquake
(M = 5.I) showed that artificially cut slopes are significantly more prone toseismically induced landslides than natural slopes in the same geologic material.
Based on work by Harp (l98I), slopes greater than 35 (I.5:I slope ratio) where
rock is exposed are prone to rock'falls and rock slides. This is considered
conservative since statistics indicate a 40-to-45 lower limit. The higher thedegree of fracturing or jointing of the rock, the higher the probability of failure.Soils or colluvial materials have a tendency to fail on slopes of 25 (2:I slope
ratio) or greater (Harp, l98 I). Research has shown that soils most susceptible tofailure are granular and nonorganic. Slopes which comprise artificial fillalso areprone to seismic-induced failures. The geometry of the fill(e.g., slope ratio and
slope height) and consistency of the soil materials will control its stability orlack of stability. Fills're known to fail by either slumping or debris slide.
Poorly compacted, low-cohesive fill materials on slopes in excess of 25 aresubject to earthquake-induced failure.
Landslides - San Luis Obis o Area
Numerous landslides have occurred in the study region (Envicom, l974). The
type and distribution of failure were probably functions of specific bedrock
conditions, namely: bedding, jointing and fracturing, and steep slope. These
slides-were most likely triggered by water infiltrating the slopes and were notrelated to earthquake activity. None of the mapped landslides near theevacuation roads and highways are known to be active, and the majority of thelarger features are considered quite old, possibly having moved during a much
wetter climate (e.g., over I l,000 years ago).
Where ear thquake-induced slides are likely to occur in the study area, they wouldin most cases fall onto highways rather than below them. Materials falling on
the roadways will cause at least partial blockage. The slides that occur below
(downslope from) a roadway could sever one or more lanes, rendering themimpassable.
B-8I-269 3-l4
TERA CORPORATION
The quantities of materials generated at the toe of a slope from any one slide
will vary depending on the dimension of the slide. Most of the shallow slides that
occurred during the I 97 I San Fernando earthquake had lengths of I 5 to
300'meters and thicknesses of 0.2 to I meter (Morton, l97l). Based on the
survey of mapped landslides, we assumed the average width of these slides to be
about one-third of the length, and the average thickness to be I meter.
Quantities ranged between 45 and 300 cubic meters of displaced debris. It is
estimated, based on similarity of relief, that similar quantities could be
developed from slides occurring in the study area. Slides might occur adjacent
to each other and form coalescent slide masses.
The removal time to clear a road blocked with slide debris depends on the
amount of materials to be removed, the number and type of heavy equipment
available, access to the site, and distance to a suitable disposal or borrow area.
The most practical types of heavy equipment for expediting road repair work are
rubber-tired loaders and tractor bulldozers. Normally, a loader of the type
owned by CALTRANS can excavate'300 cubic yards of loose, unconsolidated
material per hour'. Such loaders are available at the CALTRANS maintenance
stations and could be onsite within 30 minutes. A bulldozer (e.g., D-7
Caterpillar) would be able to move more yardage per hour. However, the only
one'wned by CALTRANS in this area is stationed on Highway I north of Morro
Bay and would require a long time to reach most sites. Local contractors would
be able to provide such equipment with a delay of two to four hours. In order to
obtain clearing time estimates for our study, we have assumed that once onsite,
front end loaders would be able to clear the road at the rate of 200 ft/hour per
lane. This implies that no hauling is required and the debris is l2 feet wide with
an average thickness of 3 feet. All the estimates have been made assuming that
only one loader is working on any given road.
Because roads are long linear structures, multiple failure can occur any place
along them, creating several blockages. In this case, the blockages may have to
be removed one at a time from each end unless equipment is available at
intermediate points. As an alternative, for emergency purposes a road can be
reopened after a major landslide by grading a road over the top of the slide mass
B-8I-269 3-I 5
TERA CORPORATION
or by passing it around the perimeter of the mass. This would certainly be time-
saving; however, caution must be exercised when people or equipment are
working in an area of potential active sliding. Roads severed or heavily damaged
by a slide located below the road may be difficult to repair within a reasonable
time frame. Such occurrences would have to be dealt with on a case-by-case
basis.
Assessment of Landslide Potential
The number of technical reports on earthquake-induced landsliding is verylimited. Much of the state-of-the-art work is presently being conducted by the
U.S. Geological Survey through their Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.
Criteria for assessing earthquake-induced landslides for this study were devel-
oped primarily from the criteria established by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Using these criteria (ABAG, l980-8l) to determine seismic-induced landslide
potential, all slopes analyzed within the study area fall into. an "unstable
condition" for both summer and winter conditions. However, based on distance
from the fault, the intensity of ground shaking will vary from strong to very
strong to occasionally violent (Table 2- I presented in the Ground Failure
Appendix). On the Modified Mercalli scale, intensities will range from Vll.to IX.
According to the definition given to the scale, earthquake landsliding has been
known to take place within this range of intensities.
Basically, there are four main factors that control earthquake-induced landslid-
ing: (I) strong ground motion, (2) slope inclination, (3) surface geologic and
engineering parameters, and (4) conventional landsliding susceptibility (water-
induced failures). Aerial photographs (Fairchild, l978), geologic and topographic
maps, and a field inspection were used to collect information on those slopes
suspected of potential landsliding. Field data sheets prepared for each siteduring our field investigation, and a summary of the pertinent data for each site,are shown in the Appendix.
Only slopes that trend immediately adjacent to or near the roads or highways
were considered in this study. All slopes (natural slopes, cuts, and fills) were
B-8I-269 3-l6
TERA CORPORATION
excluded from this study unless they exceeded the lower limits of the criteriapresented in the Appendix. No deep-seated potential slides were suspected or
recognized along the roads surveyed. Fill slopes normally are difficult to
analyze by inspection since their stability is in part related to how well theyI
were constructed (e.g., compacted). Usually new road fills have been construct-ed to adequate standards, though there are exceptions. Old road fills or newer
ones with slope ratios in excess of 2:I (horizontal-to-vertical) were considered
zones of likely failure.
Based on the assessment criteria, many slopes along the evacuation routes have
been categorized as landslide zones (Figure 3-2), potentially capable of failingunder seismic shaking. Since the current state-of-the-art required a conserva-
tive approach to formulating the assessment criteria, one does not expect thatall slopes so judged would fail. It is expected that the number of failures willdecrease rapidly with distance from the fault, based principally on the attenua-tion of acceleration. In order to estimate the expected number of slides and thecorresponding clearing times, the criteria pr'esented in Table 3- I were developedfor three damage levels. These criteria reflect engineering judgment based on
geological data and past earthquake experience. For a potential landslide
located in a given acceleration zone, the expected footage of failure wasI
obtained by multiplying the total potential footage by the percentage corre-sponding to the selected damage level.
A summary of expected footage failure and clearing time is presented in
Table 3-2 for each road surveyed.. This represents clearing time for two lanes oftraffic for the major evacuation routes. As the volume demand is less forsecondary routes, the clearing time is for only one lane on these roads.
Li uefaction - Overview
Under certain soil and ground water conditions, ground failure by liquefaction
may occur during an earthquake. Liquefaction is defined as the transformationof cohesionless water-saturated material, such as sand, from a solid state to a
fluid state. The cause of cyclic mobility or liquefaction in sands is the build-upof excess hydrostatic pore pressure due to the application of cyclic shear
B-8I-269 3-l7
TERA CORPORATION"
stresses. The shear stresses are generated in a soil deposit during ground
shaking. As a consequence of the applied cyclic stresses, the structure of the
undrained soil tends to become more compact. If the sand is loose, the pore
pressure increases rapidly to a value equal to the confining pressure, and the soil
layer may undergo large deformations and be in a state of extreme liquefaction.If the sand is more compact, it will undergo limited deformation and partialliquefaction. Any structure, fillor embankment located on a liquefying soil willundergo some deformation varying from minor settlement to complete sinking.The goal of a liquefaction potential analysis is to differentiate between those
situations where liquefaction can cause damage and those situations where
liquefaction, per se, may not cause significant damage.
Three major factors are conducive to liquefaction: ground shaking, shallow
water table, and sandy material. Generally, low-lying areas mantled by young,
unconsolidated, weil-sorted sand and/or silty sand (clay free) materials are themost susceptible to liquefy. In addition, some minor topographic relief, such as
stream banks or gentle to steep slopes, is normally needed to cause liquefactionground failure. However, some ground failure can occur on flat ground if the
liquefiable materials are unevenly loaded, as in the case of road fills.
Li uefaction - San Luis Obis o Are'a
Several of the evacuation routes travel through areas susceptible to liquefactionin the event of a major earthquake. However, no known historic liquefaction has
occurred in the study area. The areas susceptible to liquefaction could
experience accelerations between O. I2 and 0.50 g for an event of magnitude7.5'ccurring
on the, Hosgri fault. According to Youd, et al. (I978), the lower limitfor liquefaction to occur is about an acceleration of 0.2 g. This suggests thatalmost all locations within the study area have the potential to liquefy. The
resulting damage at each site will depend upon the specific soil and groundwaterconditions.
Those areas most capable of liquefaction damage to roads and highways arelocated on valley floors, river channels, estuaries, and low-lying coastal areas.
B-81-269 3-I8
TERACORPORATION
These are areas that have been flooded historically or within the recent geologic
past. The most recent flooding may have deposited very young, loosely-packed
granular sediments. Generally, the continuous ground water table is shallow in
these areas though it may fluctuate seasonally or over a period of time. Salt
water (intrusion) is reported to underlie the Morro Bay and other coastal sections
south'f Pismo Beach (DWR, l97 I and I 972).
The degree of damage to a road or highway caused. by liquefaction is difficulttoassess. Liquefaction may cause surface cracking, settlement, or lateral spread-
ing. During the process of high pore pressure generation, water is caused to flow
upward to the ground surface where it emerges in the form of sand boils.
Formation of cracks is associated with the initial emergence of water from the
ground. Such effects probably will not cause impairments to roads or highways.
With regard to roads and highways, liquefaction induced settlement and slope
failure of artificial fills may be the most common and most damaging effects.The increase in pore water pressure in the fill or the underlying materials can
reduce the shear strength of the materials, causing failure by differential,laterial flow, settlement'and/or slope failure. This may occur especially in the
case 'of high narrow fill slopes where there is a lack of lateral confinement.
Laterial spreads are defined as large masses of material that move laterally on
liquefied sand or silt. This can cause sections of road to rotate or subside. This
type of failure usually occurs along high steep bluffs, though it has been known
to occur in low relief areas such as along flood plains and deltas (Youd, l98 I).
Damage from liquefaction to roads and highways may be minor to severe.
Flexible pavement, such as asphalt, may be able to withstand minor differentialsettlement, cracking, and lateral spreads without disruption of traffic flow.
Concrete roadways may crack, causing portions of the surface to heave or
separate several inches to several feet and rendering the road impassable. Road
embankment materials may slump or settle, partially removing one or more
lanes, or the total fillmay fail.
Remedial repairs may require only filling in cracked pavement or constructing
earthen ramps over areas that have been vertically displaced. Major lateral
B-8 I-269 3-I9
TERA CORPORATION
displacements can probably be easily and quickly repaired by importing fillmaterials and regrading the displaced portion of the road. It is doubtful, though
possible, that a major settlement could cause flooding by surface or groundwater. Depending on the severity of the damage, it could be temporarilyrepaired by importing fill and placing it in the flooded area,to reestablish
continuity of the roadway.
Li uefaction Potential Assessment
Criteria developed by the U.S. Geological Survey were used to assess potentialliquefaction areas in the San Fernando Valley, California (Youd et al., l978). In
l979 the U.S. Geological Survey (Helley et al., l979) used techniques similar to,but more refined than, those used by Youd for the San Francisco Bay area. The
Seismic Safety Element for San Luis Obispo County (Envicom, l 974) has
delineated areas which have a potential to liquefy; however, their techniques forclassifying liquefied areas did not include the more recent techniques developed
by the U.S. Geological Survey. When boring logs and standard penetration testsare available, more refined methods may be used to determine the liquefactionpotential, the most common one being the technique developed by Seed and Idriss
(I 97 I) and Seed (I 979) which is presented in the Appendix.
For this study topographic soil and geologic maps, aerial photographs, and ground
water studies were used to delineate low-lying areas where younger sedimentshave been deposited and where ground water may be shallow (i.e., less than
I5 meters below the ground surface). A field reconnaissance was made to verifyor characterize the relief, types of surficial sediments, and their consistency.No subsurface exploration was performed to determine the types and consisten-cies of subsurface soils below a particular site. The subsurface conditions wereestimated using mapped and reported data and geologic projection techniques.The criteria used in the study are similar to those used by the U.S. GeologicalSurvey (Youd et al., I 979, and Helley et al., l 979).
In addition, boring logs at bridge locations were obtained from state and countytransportation departments to determine the local subsurface conditions and

apply the procedure developed by Seed and Idriss (l97I) and Seed (l979). This
was possible for about 50 percent of the zones for which a'potential forliquefaction exists.
Using the ground data provided by topographic and geologic maps and the point
data at the bridges, the zones of potential liquefaction along the highways and
roads were localized and classified in terms of low or high susceptibility
(Figure 3-3). The low susceptibility areas include those underlain by young age
(Holocene) alluvial materials that are estimated to contain appreciable amounts
of sand and silt layers or lenses and where ground water is within 50 feet of the
ground surface. The high liquefaction susceptibility areas have the same
characteristics as the low susceptibility areas, except that these zones eitherlack lateral confinement, have gentle slopes, or are differentially loaded
(artificial fills). In each case, accelerations are in excess of 0.2 g. Maps and
tables describing these zones in greater detail are presented in the Appendix.
Based on the assessment criteria, many areas along the evacuation routes have
been categorized as potential liquefaction zones, capable of failing under
excessive seismic shaking. Since there is a reasonable amount of conservatism
built into the assessment criteria, not all areas considered are expected to
liquefy. The number of liquefaction zones will decrease rapidly with distance
from the rupture, based principally on the attenuation of acceleration. More-
over, as explained in the previous section, there is a difference between
liquefaction, per se, and damage. In order to estimate the expected number ofliquefaction zones and the corresponding clearing times, the criteria presented in
Table 3-3 were developed for three damage levels. These criteria are based on
considerations such as topographic and geologic conditions, soil profile charac-
teristics (sand and silt layers, presence of clay or gravel layers, depth to waterlevel), level of earthquake shaking (PGA), and liquefaction potential assessment
using Seeds (l979) criterion. Engineering judgment played an important role in
this evaluation, especially in the areas where subsurface conditions were not
known. Each high liquefaction potential area was assigned a susceptibility level
ranging from I to IV. Level I corresponds to a low potential for damage to roads
and highways (i.e., very small deformation with little or no impairment to the
B-8 I-269 3-2I
TERA CORPORATION
road). Level IV would correspond to large deformation, settlement, slope failure
and/or lateral spreading. In this case the road would be impassable in some
sections and significant repair would be necessary. Levels II and III are interme-
diate between these two. The susceptibility level was decreased by one unit forthe adjacent low potential zone. For a potential liquefaction area located in a
given acceleration zone, the expected footage of failure was obtained by
multiplying the total potential footage by the reduction factor for the selected
damage level. To estimate the repair time, it was assumed that each major
deformation would require a fixed amount of time depending upon the damage
level assumed plus an additional amount of time depending upon the degree ofliquefaction. Both of these time estimates are functions of the liquefaction
susceptibility and damage levels. They are presented for two lanes of repair in
Table 3-4.
A summary of expected footage failure and clearing time is presented for each
road surveyed in Table 3-5. This represents clearing time for two lanes for themajor evacuation routes and for one lane for the secondary roads.

3.2. I.3 BRIDGES
A standard method for evaluating the seismic vulnerability of bridges is not
presently available. The problem can be addressed using one of several
approaches.
The first approach involves performing a dynamic analysis in order to predict the
forces and displacements generated in the bridge as a result of an earthquake.
These forces and displacements are then compared with allowable forces and
displacements and a judgment is made as to the likelihood and extent of damage.
There are some uncertainties with respect to the accuracy of the predicted
forces and displacements and the corresponding allowable values. Even though-
quantitative results are obtained from this approach, prediction of earthquake
damage is still very much an art and must rely heavily on engineering judgment
if reasonable answers are to be obtained.
The second and more subjective approach to bridge seismic evaluation consists of
classifying different types of bridges and bridge components based on their
performance in past earthquakes. From this classification, a judgment can be
made regarding the probable performance of similar bridges and bridge compon-
ents in future earthquakes. This approach is far less expensive and time
consuming than the first approach and in general will yield reliable results. This
type of approach has been used by the California Department of Transportation
in deciding which bridges should be strengthened to resist earthquake loads.
The second approach was selected for this study. Guidelines for evaluating
bridges were specifically developed for this study based on experience with
bridge failures in past earthquakes. These guidelines are included in the
Appendix of this report. Each bridge was field inspected and photographed.
Drawings were obtained from the state and county departments of transporta-
tion, and a study of each bridge was performed following the guidelines. The few
secondary bridges for which drawings were unavailable were assessed from field
inspections. The following paragraphs discuss in general the basis for the
development of certain provisions in these guidelines.
B-8I-269 3-32
ERA CORPORATION
The primary concern of this part of the study is to assess the ability of bridges to
serve as effective components on the evacuation routes. As such, the predicted
structural damage was classified into one of three categories. The first category
involves little or no damage and results in little delay to traffic using an
evacuation route. Minor settlements in the abutment fills of approximately 4 to
5 inches are not considered obstacles to traffic since fillcan be added to smooth
the roadway. Likewise, minor structural damage to bridge bearings, columns,
and abutments are not considered an obstruction. For evacuation routes which
pass under a structure, only total collapse will result in traffic delays.
A second category of damage involves a delay to traffic of less than four hours.
In this case damage will occur that renders the bridge unusable by traffic, and
repair is necessary to make it usable for evacuation. The repair time should be
less than four hours. In assigning bridges to this category, no attempt was made
to anticipate the demand on personnel and materials for other purposes. Only
the physical time restraints for repairing the individual bridge were considered.
The third and final category of damage involves the total loss of the bridge as a
component of the proposed evacuation route. Repair is considered physically
impossible within a period of four hours regardless of the commitment of men
and material to the task.
Although the performance of a bridge is based on the interaction of all of its
components, it has been noticed in past earthquakes that four bridge components
are most vulnerable to damage. These are the bearings, columns or piers,
abutments, and foundations. Therefore the following guidelines were developed
around the evaluation of each of these components.
~Bearin s
Bearings are used at superstructure/substructure interfaces as well as at in-span
joints. For the purpose of evaluation, bearings are considered to include
restraints provided at these locations, including shear keys, restrainer bars, etc.
Bearings may be "fixed" bearings which do not provide for translational move-
B-81-269 3-33
TERA CORPORATION
ment, or expansion bearings which do. A bearing may provide for translation in
one orthogonal direction but not in the other.
There are basically four types of bearings used in bridge construction. First is
the rocker bearing, which is constructed of steel and which rocks to provide for
translational and/or rotational movement. It is the most vulnerable of bridge
bearings because it becomes unstable after a limited movement. The second
type is the roller bearing, which is also constructed of steel. It is. usually a fairlystable bearing during an earthquake except that it can become misaligned and
eventually displaced. Third is the elastomeric bearing pad, which has become
very popular in California. It is constructed of an elastomer and relies on the
distortion of this material to provide for movement. It is very stable during an
earthquake, although it has been known to "walk-out" under severe shaking. The
final bearing type is the sliding bearing, which may consist of anything from
asbestos sheet packing between two concrete surfaces to sophisticated teflon
and stainless steel bearings. I
Transverse restraint of some type is almost always provided at the bearings,
which usually consists of concrete shear keys, keeper plates, or anchor bolts. It
has been noticed that certain bearing applications have always performed well in.past earthquakes. Therefore, some structures may be considered nonvulnerable.
In vulnerable structures, failure is usually related to the relative transverse or
longitudinal movement at the bearings. The expected movement at a bearing is
dependent on many factors and is not easily analyzed. In the development of
Seismic Design Guidelines for Highway Bridges, the Applied Technology Council
(ATC) developed ari empirical formula for required support length at a bearing.
Since it is very difficult to predict relative movement, evaluation of bearing
vulnerability for the purpose of this study uses the ATC formula as the basis for
checking the adequacy of longitudinal and transverse support lengths. The ATC
formula is assumed to represent an upper bound for movement at the bearing.
Transverse restraining devices are assumed to fail at various peak ground
accelerations depending on the type of restraint provided. These assumptions
are based on past performance of these devices plus engineering judgment.
B-8I-269 3-34
TERA CORPORATION
Rocker bearings have proved to be the most vulnerable in past earthquakes and
are assumed to topple at various combinations of skew and peak ground
acceleration. If bearings topple, the guidelines require that some basic minimum
seat dimensions exist to prevent collapse. These are based on geometric
considerations and are considered necessary to keep the bearing from falling offthe seat.
A limitation is also placed on the amount of longitudinal movement that could
occur in a non-skewed bridge. Movement is limited to the maximum expected
opening at the expansion joints (twice the nominal opening) plus a factor to
account for loss of support effectiveness resulting from impacting at the joints.
The settlement of a span due to a bearing toppling is assumed to be a minor
problem easily solved by ramping with asphalt fill, etc. Only total loss ofsupport will result in Category 3 damage.
Columns and Piers
Columns have failed in past earthquakes due to lack of proper transverse
reinforcement and poor structural details. Excessive ductility demands have
resulted in a degradation of column strength in shear and flexure. In the most
serious failures in past earthquakes, the column eventually failed in shear
resulting in severe vertical settlements or its total disintegration. Another typeof column failure observed in the San Fernando earthquake was the pull-out oflongitudinal reinforcing at the footing. Fortunately, serious bridge column
failures usually do not occur except at fairly high ground accelerations.
During the San Fernando earthquake, all the damaged columns had insufficienttransverse reinforcement. There appeared to be a correlation between column
damage and the ratio of shear capacity to maximum shear force. The maximum
shear force is related to the flexural capacity of the bridge column. Therefore itis possible to calculate the shear capacity to maximum shear force ratio fromthe dimensions and reinforcement in the column. By making some simplifyingassumptions, a parameter was developed which reflects the vulnerability of the
B-8I-269 3-35
TERA CORPORATION
column to damage. This parameter was tested on bridges which failed in the San
Fernando earthquake. Critical values for the column vulnerability parameter.
were identified by observing the extent of damage that occurred. These values
were then adjusted using judgment to reflect'damage at different force levels.
More information about the development of this parameter is included in the
Appendix.
The guidelines also require that high single column bents be checked for possible
pull-out of the longitudinal reinforcement. None of the bridges within the study
area appear to be vulnerable to this type of damage.
Abutments
Abutment failures during earthquakes do not usually result in total loss of the
bridge. This is especially true for earthquakes of the intensity expected within
the study area. Therefore, the abutment guidelines were developed with the goal
of predicting damage that would temporarily prevent access to the bridge.
One of the major types of problems observed in past earthquakes has been the
settlement of fillat the abutment. Elms (l979) reports that in past earthquakes
of this magnitude th'ese settlements have been on the order of IO-l5 percent of
the fill height. However, observations of damage during the San Fernando and
other California earthquakes suggest far less settlement. Bridges within the
damage area of the San Fernando earthquake experienced average fill settle-
ments on the order of 3-5 percent. This was assumed to be due to superior
construction of fills, the absence of water, and the generally wider and better
retained bridge approaches. Based on judgment, an upper limit of l0 percent fillsettlement was considered possible in the study area. This value was then scaled
down for cases with lower ground accelerations, absence of water, and wide or
well-retained fills. The resulting predicted fill settlements are approximate but
give a good indication of the type of damage that can be expected.
Additional abutment fill settlements are considered likely in the event of
abutment failures due to excessive seismic earth pressures or seismic forces
B-8 l-269 3-36
TERA CORPORATION
transferred from the superstructure. Some simple rules were developed to
identify abutment types that could be vulnerable to this type of damage. These
rules were based on engineering judgment and the performance of abutments in
past earthquakes.
Foundations
For the purpose of this study, only foundation failures due to liquefaction were
considered. Because of the many water crossings within the study area, the
potential for this type of failure is considered high. A special study was
conducted to determine the potential for liquefaction at each of the bridge sites
on the major evacuation routes using boring logs and the procedure of Seed and
Idriss (l97I) and Seed (l979). Four different levels of liquefaction were
predicted.
The classification of bridge damage is based on the liquefaction potential and the
susceptibility of different types of bridges to liquefaction-induced ground move-
ment. The vulnerability of different bridge types was determined by studying
bridge liquefaction failures during the l964 Alaskan earthquake as reported byRose et al. (I 973), and various Japanese earthquakes as reported by Iwasaki et al.
It was observed in these earthquakes that bridges with continuous super-
structures and supports that were capable of large translational deformations
usually remained serviceable with minor repairs in the case of large liquefactionmovement. However, bridges with discontinuous superstructures and/or brittlesupporting members usually were rendered useless. Therefore, this observation
was taken into account in determining the damage category for the various
bridges in the study area.
The guidelines are generally written to consider the effect of the failure of one
component on the failure of the entire structure. Therefore, the final damage
category is usually the maximum category chosen for any one of the fourcomponents. It is still necessary to look at the total damage and use engineering
judgment to determine ifbridges should be classified in a higher or lower damage
B-8 I-269 3-37
TERACORPORATION
category. Often a bridge will be such that its exact damage category is
questionable. 'This is taken into account by using engineering judgment to
establish the best estimate of total bridge damage due to the anticipated
earthquake. Figures 3-4 and 3-5 present the locations of the state and county
bridges considered in the analysis. Table 3-6 presents a summary of the bridge
damage by roads. Detailed bridge review is presented in the Appendix.

3.2. I.4 DAMAGEDUE TO FLOODING
Dam Failure
Three major dams are located in the vicinity of the study area. The Salinas dam
has its valley located totally outside the study area and is not considered herein.
The Lopez dam, built in l 968, is an earth-filled zoned dam owned by the SanLuis'bispo
County Flood Control Department. The Whale Rock dam, built in l96I, is
a rock-filled dam with a clay core and is under the jurisdiction of State Dams
Operation and Maintenance in Sacramento. Both dams have had a "National Dam
Inspection Report." They are considered safe for the storage of water; however,
both are underlain by alluvium, and a liquefaction potential exists. The owners
have been asked to study the problem. The Whale Rock dam is presently being
studied for its seismic safety by Converse, Ward, Davis, Dixon and Associates.
Their preliminary findings indicate that the foundation is not susceptible to
liquefaction (Babbit, I 98 I).
It is outside the scope of this study to assess the seismic safety of these dams.
However, their potential failures are a major threat to life and property as well
as to important evacuation routes. The Lopez Canyon Reservoir would flood the
Arroyo Grande Valley, damaging Arroyo Grande, Grover City, Pismo Beach, and
Oceano, thereby closing Routes IOI and I south. The failure of Whale Rock dam
would flood Cayucos and close Route I north of Route 4I.
Tsunami
Tsunamis are tidal waves generated by rapid vertical displacements of ocean
water either from tectonic movements of the ocean floor associated with
faulting or by major submarine landslides. Since the Hosgri fault is of the strike-
slip type, it is very improbable that it can generate a tsunami. There is a remote
possibility of a seismically-induced submarine landslide; however, its effects
would be expected to be localized with waves sufficiently small so as not to
interfere with the safe evacuation of the study area. Therefore, tsunamis were
not considered as a potential seismic hazard in this study.
B-81-269 3-44
TERA CORPORATION
3.2.2 ROAD NETWORK
The evacuation route network consists of the following three major radial
highways:
o Route I 0 I crossing the mountains north of San LuisObispo;
o Route IOI south of San Luis Obispo passing through theurbanized region along the south coast; and
o Route I from San Luis Obispo to Morro Bay and passingalong the coast to the north.
To supplement these interregional highways, four other routes have been
identified:
Route 4 I from the intersection with Route I in Morro Bayto Route IOI in Atascadero;
Orcutt Road from San Luis Obispo via Lopez Drive to theintersection with Route I 0 I in Arroyo Grande;
Route 227 to Price Canyon Road and then to the inter-section with Route IOI in Pismo Beach; and
Route I from the interchange with Route I 0 I on thenorthern outskirts of Pismo Beach south along the coastand out of the study area.
In addition, a number of city streets and secondary roads will be used to access
the major highways.
In the following sections, each major highway is reviewed in order to assess the
potential damage to the evacuation network that might result from the earth-quake under consideration. Detailed tables are presented in the Appendix.
B-SI-269 3-45
TERA CORPORATION
3.2.2. I ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO MAJOR EVACUATIONROUTES
Route IOI North (road length: 8.0 miles)
From the junction with Route I in San Luis Obispo, Route IOI follows the
general alignment of El Camino Real. Within the city, it is constructed to
freeway standards; however, some features, such as shoulder and median widths
and spacing and design of interchanges and ramps, do not conform to current
practice. On the outskirts of the city, the ascent to Cuesta Pass begins, and the
design standard is reduced to expressway, although there are few intersecting
roads and practically no tributary traffic. As the'grade steepens to 7'h percent,
the shoulders and median narrow, and a median barrier has been installed to
prevent cross-median accidents. A number of openings are provided in the
barrier which would allow median crossing if need be. In this section and
continuing on the descent to Santa Margarita, the overall roadway (pavement and
shoulders) is too narrow to accommodate disabled vehicles without impeding
traffic. At the bottom of the grade, the highway enters a rollirigvalley, and the
design changes to freeway standards, with full control of access and normal
shoulder widths.
Ground Failure
The California Department of Transportation reports continued fill settlement
and ground water problems in this area. Because natural slopes and cut-and-fill
slopes are over-steepened due to the existing settlement problems, some
blockage is anticipated even though the expected ground acceleration is low
(~0.20 g). Many rockfalls may occur, along with some rock slides and debris
slides, which could close the two northbound lanes in several areas. The higher
fills will probably settle down and out, severing the two southbound lanes locally
and possibly all lanes. Wet weather would certainly increase the damage.
Slumps and debris slides may occur on the westerly facing fill slopes. The total
road lengths where potential blockages of one and two lanes were identified are
5,500 feet for the northbound direction and 4,900 feet for the southbound
direction. Bounding expected blockages for damage levels I and 3 respectively
B-8I-269 3-46
TERA CORPORATION
vary between 0 and 920 feet (northbound) and 20 and 200 feet (southbound). No
significant liquefaction is expected on this road.
Bridge Failure
Several bridges present potential problems in this area leading to potential
closure of IOI North and requiring the use of alternate routes and bypasses.
o The Pacific Railroad California Boulevard Overcrossing(49-79) is expected to fall off its bearing, but not tocollapse on the road; this would not affect the roadtraffic.
o The Grand Avenue Undercrossing (49-84) might sustain aloss of „support at span 4 resulting in partial collapse andclosure to traffic. City streets would have to be used tobypass this bridge.
o The Pacific Railroad Cuesta Grade Overcrossing (49-60)might sustain a loss of support at the expansion joints. Ifno collapse occurs, the span might be shored, resulting ina traffic delay of one-half to one day. The collapse of thespan would effectively result in the closing of IOI North,since the bypass to this bridge is a one lane dirt road.
o The Route 58/IOI Separation Bridge (49-l58) might po-tentially collapse, although this is doubtful at the lowacceleration levels expected at its location. A directofframp bypass is available.
Route IOI Central between junction of Route I and Avila turnoff (road length:8.9 miles)
Running south from the intersection with Route I in San Luis Obispo, Route I 0 I
follows the gently rolling San Luis Obispo Creek Valley before it turns southeast
along the coast. The entire route to the study area boundary and beyond is offreeway design construction, although the portion within San Luis Obispo is
below today's standards.
B-8 I-269 3-47
TERA CORPORATION
Ground Failure
A 400-foot road cut section is susceptible to failure (onramp northbound IOI
from Avila); this could cause total closure of this onramp due to rock falls and
rock slides. Rock falls might close the southbound lane over an estimated
I,I00 foot section of cut slopes. Bounding lengths of expected blockages vary
between I IO and 220 feet.
Liquefaction is a major concern through the San Luis Obispo Creek area (l7,000
feet discontinuous). Lateral spreading and fill settlement may remove one or
more lanes where the highway either crosses the creek or parallels the creek.
Groundwater is very high, near the surface, with numerous fills along the
highway. Bounding estimates of the lengths of damaged roadways vary between
2,300 and 7,500 feet mainly'in the northbound direction.
Bridge Failure
Two bridges present potential problems to this section of the highway. The San
Luis Obispo Creek Bridge (49-I4) is in a highly liquefiable zone. While the
northbound lane has been retrofitted to improve its earthquake performance, the
southbound lane has not been upgraded, making it most vulnerable. However,
both lanes might undergo extensive damage forcing the closure of the bridge.
The bypass is involved since it requires the use of San Luis Bay Road and Avila
Road, because the truss bridge on the frontage road (49C-l97) is expected to
collapse. Both bridges on the bypass road (49C-IS I and 49C-l50) might undergo
some settlement resulting in minor to moderate traffic delay. The Avila Road
Undercrossing (49-l9l) might also undergo severe deformation due to liquefac-
tion, requiring shoring with a traffic delay of at least 8 hours.
Route IOI South from Avila turnoff to I.4 miles south of Los Berros turnoff4: 144
This stretch has 'intermittent frontage roads on both sides of the highway, and
access ramps are spaced from one-half to two miles apart. This route has
B-8I-269 3-48
TERA CORPORATION
moderate grades and curves, and ample space for disabled vehicles outside the
traffic lanes.
Ground Failure
A number of soil and rock falls, over l400 feet of the roadway, might be
anticipated l.2 miles north of Los Berros Road, north of Pismo Beach and near
Gragg Canyon. Bounding lengths of expected blockage vary between l30 and 260
feet in the northbound direction and are negligible in the southbound direction.
One main area of liquefaction is expected in the 5,000 lineal feet of fills across
the Price Canyon drainage area. This would result in lateral spreads and
settlement to fills, closing all four lanes in several locations. Liquefaction could
also take place at the Avila Beach - U.S. IOI interchange across Gragg Canyon
drainage, where fills might be susceptible to settlement. The estimate of the
length of damaged roadway varies between l,900 and 3,300 feet.
Bridge Failure
Structural damage is not expected to affect traffic on IOI South in this area,
although some overcrossings might be closed to traffic. The Bridge Street
Undercrossing (49-l73R) will probably topple off its bearings and possibly lose
spans I and 3, thereby closing IOI to northbound traffic.
Route I North (road length: I5.3 miles)
Route I, known as the "Coastal Highway," is a designated primary state route.
The segment of interest originates on Santa Rosa Street at the Route IOI
overpass structure and terminates l.9 miles north of the Route 4I intersection.
lt is developed as a four-lane urban arterial, changing to expressway standards
near Foothill Boulevard. Through the rural area between San Luis Obispo and
Morro Bay, the route is a four-lane, divided expressway with limited access and
at-grade intersections. Through the southern portion of Morro Bay, Route I is
constructed to freeway standards, with four full interchanges. North of the
B-SI-269 3-49
TERA CORPORATION
Route 4I interchange, the highway reverts to expressway standards. Outside the
study area, and beyond the town of Cayucos, Route I becomes a two-lane
highway. Both horizontal and vertical alignment of this highway are good and
there are no serious roadside restrictions. Full shoulders provide ample space for
disabled vehicles. The median is usually at grade without fences or barriers,
which would allow easy access between the south and northbound lanes.
Ground Failure
No landslides are anticipated along this portion of Route I, since both cut and
fillslopes are not expected to fail.
Fourteen zones of variable length along the road, for a total of l2,500 feet, have
been found susceptible to liquefaction, lateral spreading, and fill settlement.
Significant damage might be expected in fills constructed over stream channels
or where the road parallels stream channels. Due to the width of the highway
and relatively low slopes, it is unlikely that all four lanes would require repair in
more than a few areas, the most susceptible being those close to the sea coast
due to higher predicted accelerations. Bounding lengths of expected damage for
this road vary between 2,000 and 7,500 feet.
Bridge Failure
The Chorro Creek Overhead (49-63) is expected to undergo some settlement and
possibly complete closure in the event of liquefaction. The northern bypass
consists of a four-mile, one lane road. No other bridges are expected to sustain
structural damage, but all four bridges north of the south Morro Bay Undercross-
ing could potentially undergo 6- to I 2-inch fillsettlement.
B-8I-269 3-50
TERA CORPORATION
Route I South from Pismo Beach to Valley Road (road length: 4.4 miles)
Ground Failure
The road fills constructed over the railroad tracks (Oceano Overhead) are
susceptible to settlement and debris slides possibly closing the outside lanes.
Total closure is not anticipated by failure of the road fills. Bounding estimates
vary between 80 and l60 feet for damage to one lane and between 200 and
400 feet for damage to two lanes.
Moderate to major damage can be expected by liquefaction along an 8,000-foot
discontinuous section near Meadow Creek (Lagoon area) and over stream
crossings in Pismo Beach, Grover City, and Arroyo Grande Creek. Fill settle-
ments and lateral spreads are likely. The bounding estimates of the lengths of
damaged roadways vary between I,800 and 6,800 feet.
Bridge Failure
The Oceano Overhead (49-l2) might topple off its bearings and undergo some
settlement requiring minor ramping. Liquefaction might produce large deforma-
tions in the bridge across Villa Creek (49- I 0) and necessitate bent shoring.
Route 4I (road length: 5.0 miles)
This route provides a connection between the Morro Bay urbanized area and
Route IOI North at Atascadero. The route is two-lane, built to mountainous
terrain standards, with steep grades, sharp curves, and narrow shoulders. Traffic
capacity is correspondingly low and, therefore, Route 4I should be regarded as a
limited alternative for light damage scenarios, to be used primarily by vehicles
originating in the Morro Bay area, with the preferred evacuation route being the
Route IOI North corridor.
B-8I-269 3-5 I
TERA CORPORATION
Ground Failure
Debris and rock slides may be severe over the I.5 miles of roadway which passes
through the steep hilly area. Total closure might occur to both lanes but is notexpected due to the low peak ground accelerations. Bounding lengths ofexpected blockages vary between 60 and 200 feet for one lane.
Nine zones of potential liquefaction are found on this five-mile stretch. Lateral
spreads and minor fill settlements are anticipated over stream channels.
Bounding estimates of the lengths of damaged roadways vary between 350 and
I,800 feet.
Bridge Failure
The four bridges on the road to Atascadero are expected to sustain only minor
damage with no traffic delay.
3.2.2.2 ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO SECONDARY EVACUATIONROADS
Orcutt Road (road length: I5.4 miles)
The Orcutt Road route provides an alternative to Route IOI South that may be
used by vehicles originating in San Luis Obispo and preferring to evacuate to thesouth or by vehicles from the Arroyo Grande and Grover City regions heading
north. This route may become particularly important if prevailing winds should
cause early exposure of the south coastal area to a radiological release. OrcuttRoad originates in San Luis Obispo and is maintained by the county throughoutmost of its length. The road traverses rolling terrain and has fair alignmentwithout any long steep grades.'n the southern end, the route follows LopezDrive and State Route 227 into and through the city of Arroyo Grande.
B-8I-269 3-52
TERA CORPORATION
Ground Failure
Minor landsliding with one lane closure could be expected near the Southern
Pacific Railroad overpass at Johnson Avenue. On the Lopez Drive section, five
locations of potential rock fall and debris slides extend discontinuously over
2,200 feet. The bounding estimates of blockage vary between 240 and 480 feet
for one lane and 60 and l20 feet for both lanes.
Liquefaction may occur at the intersection of San Luis Obispo Creek and Johnson
Avenue and at the various Corral de Piedra Creek crossings, resulting in lateral
spread and minor filldisplacements. On the Lopez Drive section, three areas of
potential liquefaction extend discontinuously over l,200 feet. The bounding
estimates of the length of damaged roadway vary between zero and 750 feet.
The potential for liquefaction in the road fill, traversing the. reservoir near
Lopez Drive, is considered remote due to the low acceleration level.
Bridge Failure
The bridges on this road are of the small culvert type. Minor damage is expected
due to settlement, requiring no repair with the possible exception of Bridge
49C-I I3, which is located in a zone of high liquefaction potential. The bridges
on Johnson Street (49C-367 and 49C-366) are not expected to undergo traffic-delaying damage.
Route 227 and Price Can on Road (road length: I I.5 miles)
This route is generally parallel to Orcutt Road and would serve a similar
function. The evacuation route originates in San Luis Obispo and follows
Route 227 to its intersection with Price Canyon Road, continuing over the
county-maintained Price Canyon Road, terminating at Route IOI in Pismo
Beach. This route avoids not only a section of Route 227 with poor vertical and
horizontal alignment but also the congested urban business district of Arroyo
B-8 I-269 3-53
TERA CORPORATION
Grande. This route has a relatively wide pavement (including paved shoulders on
Price Canyon Road) that could permit two-lane traffic in the principal evacua-
tion direction in extreme circumstances.
Ground Failure
No landslides are anticipated on Route 227. On Price Canyon Road, one
discontinuous section (three cuts) approximately 800 feet long is susceptible torock falls. Another major l,500-foot section of potential rock falls and rock
slides is located l.3 miles north of Route lOI and may block both lanes. The
bounding estimates of the length of road blockage vary between 80 and l60 feetfor one lane and l50 and 300 feet for'both lanes.
Four zones of potential liquefaction are recognized for a total length of3,200 feet on Route 227. On Price Canyon Road, a major 2,000-foot section near
Edna and two small zones (200 feet each) at stream crossings have been
identified. Minor fill settlement and lateral spreads are anticipated. The
bounding estimates of the length of damaged roadway vary between l40 and
2,700 feet.
Bridge Failure
No damage is expected to bridges on this section of Route 227. The bridge over
San Luis Obispo Creek on Marsh Street (49-58) may undergo bearing failurerequiring minor ramping. On Price Canyon Road, the Price Canyon Road
Overhead (49C-329) is expected to undergo moderate settlement and liquefac-tion requiring ramping. The bridge over Corral de Peidra Creek (49C-330) mightbe closed to traffic due to severe liquefaction. Both bridges can be easily
bypassed on the old Price Canyon Road.
B-8l-269 3-54
TERA CORPORATION
3.2.2.3 ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO PLANT ACCESS ROADS
San Luis Ba Road (road length: I.4 miles)
Ground Failure
One oversteepened fill 200 feet long is susceptible to settlement and possible
slumping on both sides of the road. Damage would result in partial closure to
both lanes, leaving the road center open to traffic. The estimate of the length

One 400-foot section across the See Canyon drainage may fail due to liquefac-
tion, lateral spreads and minor fill settlement. Significant damage may be
anticipated for both lanes. Another l,200 feet of road crosses an area of low
liquefaction potential. The bounding estimates of the length of damaged
roadways vary between 250 and 600 feet.
Bridge Failure
The bridge over San Luis Obispo Creek (49C-ISI) is expected to undergo
moderate settlement requiring minor ramping, while the bridge over See Canyon
Creek may be damaged by liquefaction and require more significant ramping.
Avila Road from Route IOI to Marina (road length: 4.6 miles)

presently exist. The bounding estimates of the length of road blockage vary
between l,300 and 2,000 feet.
Major liquefaction damages are expected along 7,300 feet (discontinuous) of the
road with closure of both lanes. The fill area at the public pier and the road

the highest susceptibility to damage. The bounding estimates of the length of
damaged roadway vary between l,600 and 2,900 feet.

The Harford Drive Bridge (49C-327) is expected to be damaged by settlement
and shifting at the bearings requiring moderate ramping. If the severe
liquefaction potential in the area materialized, the structure would likely lose a
span.
PGandE Access Road from Avila Road to Diablo Canyon (road length: 7.0 miles)
Ground Failure
Natural slopes are oversteepened, and 5,000 to 6,000 feet of roadway are
susceptible to debris slides and rock falls, which could result in the closure of
both lanes. Fourteen steep, high fills have been placed across the major
southwest flowing drainages. There is much evidence (tension cracks and repair
patching) that the fills are presently settling. Slumping and debris slides are
expected on some of these fills resulting in the closure of both lanes. The
expected length of blockage of both lanes varies between 700 and l,000 feet.
No liquefaction is anticipated along this road.

4.0 EVACUATIONTIME ESTIMATES
Evacuation time estimates are an important ingredient in emergency planning.
They provide a key input to the protective action decision making process by
indicating whether sufficient time is available to conduct a partial or total
evacuation of the population within the plume exposure zone. Where earthquake
damage has impacted the evacuation road system, decisions regarding evacuation
become more complex. Also it is desirable, if not necessary, to consider a
variety of evacuation options in order to provide the greatest protection to the
most people. Therefore, it was determined that protective action decisions
could benefit from pre-analysis of evacuation times representative of post-
earthquake conditions. Such analyses were performed in this study for the Basic
Emergency Planning Zone (BEPZ) surrounding the Diablo Canyon Power Plant for
specified evacuation zones and earthquake damage levels.
The evacuation of part or all of the population around the Diablo Canyon Power
Plant was simulated using a computer model of the evacuation process. This
model dynamically simulates the distribution and flow of cars through the
evacuation road network. For each evacuation scenario, distributions can be
obtained for various quantities of interest, such as total time to evacuate, total
time spent on the road in an evacuation, and the density and velocity of cars at
various points in the evacuation road network (Figure 4- l).
\
The evacuation process is initiated when the affected populace is notified of the
need to evacuate. Once this notification is issued, the process of evacuating
from a given area for any given individual is modeled by a sequence of activities,
or steps. An example of such a sequence is:
o Become aware of the notification
o Prepare to leave work
o Drive home
o Prepare to evacuate from home
o Drive from home to a main evacuation route
B-8I-269 4-I
TERA CORPORATION
o Merge onto the main evacuation route
o Drive out of the evacuation zone on the main evacuationroute.
The time required to evacuate from a given area-equals the sum of the times
taken to complete whatever individual activities are required.
The September 1980 PRC-Voorhees report, "Evacuation Times Assessment forthe Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant," obtained distributions for the times
needed to complete the steps leading up to a person leaving his or her residence
and entering the transportation network. These time distributions were then
combined to derive an overall distribution for the times at which evacuees can
be expected to enter the transportation network with the purpose of directlyexiting the evacuation zone. The following types of evacuees.were considered in
the Voorhees analysis: (I) students attending California Polytechnic State
University, (2) visitors to Pismo Beach State Park, and (3) everyone else includ-
ing workers who must drive home from work before evacuating, and spouses and
children at home who will wait until the other spouse arrives home before
evacuating.
In this report, the last three basic steps in the evacuation process were modeled,
namely:
0 Transit between a person's residence and a main evacua-tion route
Merging onto the main evacuation route
Transit from the point of entrance onto the main evacua-tion route to the evacuation zone boundary.
The times required to complete these three activities were calculated using
TERA's evacuation simulation model. The results were combined with the
distributions given in the Voorhees report for the three types of evacuees. This
yielded an overall evacuation analysis which explicitly described the timecomponents involved in the various steps in an evacuation, from the time atwhich notification is given to the affected populace until the evacuation is
complete.B-8I-269 4-2

4.1 MAINEVACUATIONROUTE TRANSPORTATION MODEL
The principal dynamic characteristic of the evacuation process is the flow ofvehicles along the evacuation routes. To compute the transit times associated
with the flow of vehicles, a general model of vehicle flow was used. In this
model, car speed (S) over a given section of roadway is assumed to be a function
of the density of cars (p) and the capacity of the given section of roadway. The
density of cars is merely the number of cars per unit of highway length, and the
roadway capacity is a direct function of the type of road (e.g., limited access
freeway) and the number of lanes. At low densities, cars can travel relativelyfast, but the volume of traffic or throughput, v (which equals p.s), moving past a
given point is relatively small. As the density of cars increases, speed decreases,
and throughput is increased until an "optimum" density (popt) is attained. Atthis density, the corresponding speed (Sopt) Is such that throughput (which equals
popt Sopt) is maximized, and the maximum capacity of the road is attained. As
the density increases past poptp car speed continues to decrease, and throughput
decreases until the density equals approximately I.7 times the optimum density.
At this point, both car speed and throughput are effectively reduced to zero. A
graphical representation of this model is given in Figures 4-2 and 4-3.

4.2 SIMULATIONAPPROACH
The simulation technique used in computing evacuation time estimates utilized a
network model of the main evacuation routes leading from the Basic Emergency
Planning Zone. The network consists of points of entrance onto the main
evacuation routes, "nodes," and the sections of roadway between entrances,
"links." Evacuation times were computed by simulating the flow of trafficthrough the network model.
Because of the large number of vehicles that would be involved in an evacuation,
vehicles having similar simulated characteristics were grouped into units called
"entities." Each entity represented 25 vehicles having a common origin, destina-
tion, and type of evacuee. Therefore, the flow of 55,000 vehicles from the
evacuation zone was simulated by sending 2,200 (55,000/25) entities through the
network. The fact that one entity represents 25 vehicles was reflected in allcalculations.
In cases where a given network node corresponds to a main evacuation route
entrance which is close to other entrances not represented by nodes, it was
assumed that the given node represented these nearby entrances as well. Thus,
the number of cars (as represented by entities) which were routed to each
entrance node in a given evacuation scenario represented the number of cars
which would be entering any of the entrances represented by that node. Also, at
each node which represents more than one actual entrance, the merge time foreach entity was reduced by a factor corresponding to the number and type ofnearby entrances. This reflects the fact that cars would be entering the main
evacuation routes from all possible entrances.
At the time the first notification to evacuate is issued, in any given evacuation
scenario, each entity under consideration is identified as to the type of evacuee
it represents and labeled with the number of the node wheie it will be entering
the main evacuation network. The evacuation process is then modeled in the
network by calculating a sequence of time components that each entity
B-8I-269 4-6
TERA CORPORATION
experiences before it has exited from the network. These components are
discussed below.
4.2.I PREPARATION TIME
The first time component that an entity experiences is the time required to
complete all of the steps necessary before a person is ready to leave his or her
'residence in an evacuation. For this time component,.each entity is assigned a
time taken from the PRC-Voorhees distributions corresponding to the type ofevacuee specified.
4.2.2 TRANSIT TIME BETWEEN RESIDENCESAND MAINEVACUATIONROUTES
The second time component that an entity experiences is the time required for a
person to drive from his or her residence to an entrance of a main evacuation
route. This time generally contributes only a small increment to the totalevacuation time. However, because the distance to a suitable evacuation route
varies considerably for some population concentrations, there are significantdifferences in travel time among various segments of the population. Very short
travel times occur in San Luis Obispo,'orro Bay, and the Five Cities area
because of the proximity of the designated evacuation routes to these concen-
trated populations. For communities that are comparatively remote from the
main evacuation routes, such as Los Osos, Baywood Park, and Cuesta-By-The-
Sea, local travel times are greater. In addition, zones that have relativelydispersed populations have greater variability of travel times.
A distribution of times for this part of the evacuation process was-obtained foreach emergency planning zone as given in the Voorhees report. This involved
obtaining travel times from three points in each zone: a modal or average timefor trips originating near the centroid of the zone's population; a maximum timefor trips from the most remote residences in the zone; and a minimum time fortrips originating on the roads or streets nearest to the evacuation routes. The
estimate of travel time in each case was based on the travel distance and the
B-SI-269 4-7
TERA CORPORATION
assumed travel speed, which was a function of roadway type and condition.
Generally, top speeds of 25 mph on rural roads and l5 mph on city streets were
used, recognizing that congestion during evacuation would be greater than usual
and that these are trip averages rather than preferred driving speeds.
4.2.3 MERGING TIME ONTO MAINEVACUATIONROUTES
The third time component that an entity experiences is the time which is
required to merge onto the main evacuation route. This part of the evacuation
process is important because the rate at which cars enter a section of roadwayaffects the density of cars on that roadway. This in turn affects the speed oftraffic and throughput on the main evacuation routes, and therefore the totalevacuation time.
Capacity at the entry points to the evacuation network depends in part on thegeometry of the ramp or intersection and the characteristics of traffic controls.However, when the highway is operating at or near maximum capacity, theoverriding consideration is the density and speed of highway traffic approachingthe entry point and, hence, the frequency of opportunities for cars to merge intothe traffic stream. At freeway ramps during heavy traffic, opportunities resultbecause of the irregularity of intervals between cars and because upstream cars
tend to move to the left-hand traffic lane in order to avoid conflict withentering cars. As the density increases, fewer opportunities for merging occur.At intersections with traffic signals, opportunities to enter the traffic streamdepend on the signal cycles and the relative proportions of traffic light greentime allocated to entering streets. In these cases, congestion is likely to limitentry severely if traffic tie-ups cause blockage of intersections. At unsignalizedsurface intersections, right-turn entry opportunities depend on the occurrence ofgaps in the through traffic stream, much as they do at freeway ramps. Left-turnopportunities depend on breaks in on-coming traffic and, therefore, may be
virtually impossible unless the on-coming traffic flow is very light (as may wellbe the case in the return direction during an evacuation) or manual trafficcontrol is provided. When opportunities to cross the opposing traffic are
B-81-269 4-8
TERA CORPORATION
plentiful, the merge into the traffic stream is similar to that for right-turn
traffic.
The following simplified expression was developed to describe the volume of cars
entering the evacuation network at each entry node:
K l l l'7 t S t for 0 — < l.7 (I)P P
p t opt opt ~opt
for ) l.7P
~opt
where: e = entering traffic volume (cars/hour)
p = actual density of cars (cars/mile)
and
p t— density of cars at maximum capacity (cars/mile)
optS t
— speed at maximum capacity (miles/hour)opt
~ = a constant depending on the type of intersection and thenumber and type of nearby entrances.
These equations are consistent with the nomographs given in Figures 8.2 and 8.8
in the Highway Capacity Manual-l965 (HCM) for ramp capacities on four-lane
highways and with the graphs (Figures 6.8 and 6.9) of surface street intersection
capacities when through traffic is moving freely at less than possible capacity.
(The HCM is a publication of the Highway Research Board that is widely
regarded as the standard reference on practical analytical methods for determin-
ing traffic capacity and predicting traffic performance.) The equations also
conform to the general constraint that "if the demand volume exceeds the
capacity, the bottleneck will be critical and queueing and speed reduction can be
expected either on the ramp or on the through freeway lanes, or both" (HCM,
p. 197). The controlling variables in these equations are the relative density of
traffic and the traffic capacity (which equals p ~ S ) for the evacuationopt opt
B-8I-269 4-9
TERA CORPORAllON
route. Thus, if traffic is very light, a steady stream of cars can enter; however,
as the route approaches saturation few, if any, cars will be able to merge intothe traffic stream.
When a car arrives at an entrance to a main evacuation route, there may be
other cars waiting to merge. Thus, the total time taken for a car to merge ontoa main evacuation route equals the time that it must spend waiting while othercars are merging plus its own merging time (which on average equals I/e). In theevacuation simulation, when an entity arrives at an entrance node into the
network, it is held in a queue (if necessary) while any preceding entities merge.When the entity reaches the head of the queue it computes its own merging timefrom the equation:
entity merging time = 25 ~ (I/e)
where e is computed from expression (I). The factor of 25 reflects the fact thatone entity represents 25 cars, each of which takes approximately I/e (hours) tomerge onto the main evacuation route.
4.2.4 TRANSIT TIME ON MAINEVACUATIONROUTES
The last time component that an entity experiences is the time required totravel on the main evacuation route out of the evacuation zone. This timedepends on the speed at which cars can travel, which in turn is largely dependent
on the capacity of the roadway and the density of cars on the roadway.
The capacity of a highway to carry traffic (usually expressed as vehicles per hour
or vehicles per lane per hour) is a physical quantity that depends on certainrecognized geometric characteristics of the roadway. Among these characteris-tics are vertical and horizontal alignment (the frequency and sharpness of curves
and grades, usually subsumed under aggregate measures such as safe operatingspeed or average highway speed) and percentages of the roadway mileage having
adequate sight distances for passing other vehicles. Other geometric character-istics that directly affect capacity are roadway or lane width and the width of
B-8 I-269 4-IO
TERA CORPORATION
shoulders or distance from the road to obstructions, such as trees, bridge
abutments, and parked vehicles. The length and steepness of grades has littledirect effect on traffic capacity for passenger automobiles, but does affect the
treatment of trucks and buses in terms of car equivalents. Thus, a heavy truck
such as a five-axle semi-trailer combination, which on a good highway in level or
lightly rolling terrain is equivalent to two passenger cars, may displace more
than l00 cars on sections of roadway with long, steep grades. These and many
similar relationships have been determined quantitatively by observation ofactual traffic and are reported in the HCM.
Throughout the HCM, the authors use the basic relationship between operating
speed and traffic volume to illustrate how speed changes as the number of
vehicles on the road changes. In general, traffic is known to proceed at the
average highway speed, or safe operating speed, when traffic volumes are very
.Iow. Speed declines gradually, but at an increasing rate, as volume increases.
When the peak capacity is approached, movement rates become unstable and
speed may decline precipitously as a result of either an incident that disrupts
flow or the addition of a small number of cars to the stream. If traffic increases
beyond this point, throughput of the highway declines. These relationships are
the speed versus traffic volume analogs to the speed versus density relationships
described previously. On all highways the maximum capacity occurs at rela-
tively low speeds, usually about 25 to 30 mph in rural areas or on urban highways,
and l5 mph on urban arterial streets.
For the simulation of traffic over the main evacuation route network, the basic
relationship between operating speed and traffic volume has been converted to a
speed versus density relationship (Figure 4-2). For most types of highway, a
nearly linear relationship exists between speed and density, although there are
minor irregularities in the region of maximum capacity where traffic flow tends
to be unstable. For purposes of simulation a conservative linear equation has
8-8I-269 4-II

been assumed which effectively describes the conditions that will prevail during
an emergency evacuation.

In the. evacuation simulation, the time required for an entity to transit the
network is determined as follows:
I. Upon entering a link of the network (representing asection of a main evacuation route), the density of carstraversing that link is computed and substituted intoexpression (2).
2. If S is positive, a transit time for the link is computed bydividing the length of the link by S. The entity is thenrouted to the next node of the network where it repeatsStep I unless it has arrived at an end node of the network(representing the boundary of the evacuation zone).
In this case, the entity has completed the last step that itmust undergo in its "evacuation process" and so its arrival-time is recorded and used as one data point in anempirical distribution of evacuation completion times.Such a distribution is computed for each end node and theentire network.
3. If S = 0, the entity waits in a line behind other entitieswhich have computed a 0 value for S. When an entityleaves the link, the first waiting entity is allowed to enterthe link with a speed (and thus transit time) correspondingto
P1.7.
~opt
. B-81-269 4-l2
TERA CORPORATION
Each subsequent entity which leaves the link allows onewaiting entity to enter the link (with the same speed)until there are no more entities waiting. After an entityenters a link, it is routed to the next node (after theappropriate transit time) where Step I is repeated (if it isnot an end node) as in Step 2.
Step 3 corresponds to a traffic-jam situation in which cars must come to a stop
and wait because the density of cars on the road has become too great. This
condition persists until cars farther up the road have moved forward, allowing
the waiting cars also to move forward.
Thus the time required for an entity to traverse a link equals its waiting time
(representing the time a car may spend sitting in a traffic jam) plus its transit
time once it has begun moving. The time required for an entity to exit from the
evacuation zone once it has entered a main evacuation route equals the time the
entity takes to traverse all of the links which it must pass through before it has
left the evacuation zone.
4.3 TRAFFIC CONTROL
As described previously, the volume of cars which can pass through a given
section of roadway is maximized when the density of cars (p) equals poptp which
in turn yields an average car speed of Sopt. Thus the goal of a traffic control
program should be to guarantee that the density of cars on a roadway does not
exceed popt. Such a program could be implemented by traffic control personnel
at the major entrances to the main evacuation routes.
ln the simulation, this type of traffic control was modeled by not allowing an
entity to join the moving stream of entities on a main evacuation route link if by
doing so it would cause the density of cars on that link to exceed popt.

4.4 MODELING EARTHQUAKEDAMAGE
In the scenarios where damage was assumed to occur to the highway system,
(e.g., bridge damage, landslides, or liquefaction), damage repair times were
modeled as follows:
I. Estimates were made of the time needed to repair eachoccurrence of damage on each section of roadway corres-ponding to a link in the network.
2. An estimate was made as to the number of crews whichwould be available to repair damage on each section ofroadway, and from this an estimate of the total timeneeded to repair each link in the network was computed.
3. If a bypass existed around the damaged area, the capacityof the link was lowered to the capacity of the bypass forthe duration of the repair time. If no bypass existed, noentities were allowed onto the link for the duration of therepair time.
4. In addition to the above steps, it was assumed that carswould not travel at speeds greater than So t (i.e., thecapacity maximizing speed). This speed equals about one-half of the speed which would be expected if the roadwaywas uncongested and no damage had occurred. In caseswhere traffic control was assumed, traffic was assumedto be moving at a speed of Sopt since the purpose oftraffic control is to assure that maximum capacity ismaintained on the evacuation routes.
4.5 SUMMARYOF RESULTS
Evacuations of population in several geographic regions were modeled using the
simulation approach described above. Four types of evacuation were considered:
I. Total - the entire Basic Emergency Planning Zone (BEPZ)
2. Partial (Northern) - the region north of the plant whichcontains Morro Bay and Baywood Park
3. Partial (Eastern) - the region east of the plant whichcontains San Luis Obispo
B-8I-269 4-l4
TERA CORPORATION
4. Partial (Southern) - the region south of the plant whichcontains Avila Beach, Shell Beach and the Five Citiesarea.
The number of cars which were assumed to be involved in each of these
evacuations was derived from the number of cars expected to be involved from
each of the evacuation zones (I through XVIII) of the September l980 PRC-
Voorhees report.
For each of the four types of evacuation, four earthquake damage levels were
modeled:
I. No damage
2. Light damage
3. Moderate damage
4. Heavy damage.
The repair times that were computed for each link in the network for each of
these damage levels, along with the number of crews which would be required to
attain these repair times, are given in Table 4- I.
For each combination of evacuation type and damage level, a rough optimization
of the routing of the evacuating cars was performed. The goal of this
optimization process was to distribute and route the cars on the main evacuation
routes such that the Basic Emergency Planning Zone (i.e., the end node of each
of these routes) was cleared at approximately the same time. The distributions
and routing of cars which resulted from this process are given in the Appendix.
Should there be a different evacuation objective —for example, to clear the
IO-mile radius as quickly as possible —a different distribution and routing of cars
may be appropriate.
The estimated evacuation times for the BEPZ for the l6 possible combinations of
evacuation types and damage levels are given in Table 4-2. It was assumed in
obtaining these estimates that the type of traffic control described above was in
B-8I-269 4-l5
TERA CORPORATION
effect and that there were sufficient resources available to repair all of the
occurrences of damage within the time interval required to repair the worst
occurrence of damage for each link. The effect of assuming a more limitedavailability of resources is discussed below. Also listed are the times required toclear a IO-mile radius around the plant. These represent entities which have
been routed to clear the larger radius (BEPZ) in the optimal time and, therefore,do not necessarily represent an optimal !0-mile evacuation time.
Total Evacuations
The evacuation time estimated to clear the entire evacuation zone ranges from
6.5 hours if no damage is assumed to I0.5 hours if heavy damage is assumed.
Partial Evacuations
The time estimated to clear the 10-mile radius in an eastern evacuation is threehours for all four damage levels. The constant time estimates are a product ofthe very few residents within IO miles of the plant in this direction and the
evacuation model which does not include any main evacuation routes within this
area. Thus the time to clear the region in the model simply equdls the time for
people in the region to leave their homes (which is assumed to be less than orequal to three hours in the PRC-Voorhees report) plus the transit time on local
roads past the IO-mile radius (approximately 5-IO minutes). The three-hour
estimate for people to leave their homes and exit the IO-mile zone is based upon
use of private automobiles with little delay in reaching the main evacuation
route. From the damage estimates given in Section 3.2.2.3, forms of egress fromthe Avila Beach area other than private automobile may be necessary due to the
potential for road damage. For example, walking around the damage to
Highway IOI and then being transported by buses or cars out of the BEPZ may be
required if the Avila Beach Road is heavily damaged. This could require some
additional time beyond the three hours even though the distance is not great (less
than three miles).
B-SI-269 4-l6
TERA CORPORATION
The time estimated to clear the IO-mile radius in a southern evacuation equals
three hours for the light, moderate, and heavy damage levels which is less than
the 3.5 hours for the no-damage case. The reason for this lies in the assumed
routing of cars for the damage versus no-damage scenarios. In the damage
scenarios a bridge failure was assumed to occur on Route IOI between Avila
Road and San Luis Bay Road. Because of this, in these scenarios no traffic was
routed from Shell Beach and the Five Cities area onto Route IOI going north'.
This allows the traffic from the Avila Beach area to enter and exit from the
section of Route IOI which is within the IO-mile radius with almost no delay.
Thus, the time to clear the IO-mile radius essentially equals the time taken by
people in the region to leave their homes (less than or equal to three hours, per
PRC-Voorhees, l980). In the no-damage case, however, traffic which is routed
from the Shell Beach and Five Cities area on to Route I 0 I going north interferes
with the Avila Beach traffic which is attempting to clear the IO-mile radius.
This results in the time required to clear the IO-mile radius being longer in this
case than in the three damage scenarios.
Effect of Available Resources on Evacuation Time Estimates
The evacuation time estimates above were based upon the assumption thatsufficient resources would be available to repair the damage to all sections of
the roadways simultaneously and the only delay that would result in longer
evacuation times was that due to lower capacity bypasses and the time to repair
the worst link on a given section of roadway. These repair times and resources
are presented in Tables 4- I and 4-3A.
Since it is not possible to know ahead of time the level of resources (equipment
and labor) that would be available, we have estimated the incremental increase
in evacuation times that would result from limitations on these resources.
Table 4-3B is a tabulation of the reduced resources which would result in a delay
of less than one hour for light damage level, less than two hours for moderate
damage and less than four hours for heavy damage. If the available resources
were less than those shown in Table 4-3A, but greater than or equal to those
shown in Table 4-3B, one would add these incremental times to the evacuation

time estimates shown in Table 4-2. Similarly, Table 4-3C provides resource
levels which would result in delays of two, four and eight hours for the three
damage levels. If the available resources were less than those shown in
Table 4-3B, but greater than or equal to those shown in Table 4-3C, one would
add these incremental times to the evacuation time estimates shown in
Table 4-2.
tn Table 4-3A we have tabulated the availability of crews which were assumed
for the various evacuation scenarios and upon which the results in Table 4-2 are
based.

5. I EARTHQUAKE EFFECTS ON COMMUNICATIONS
As with transportation systems, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake on the Hosgri faultcould damage communications systems within the study area. For example, in
the l97l San Fernando earthquake, substantial damage was reported to the com-mercial telephone system, generally due to a lack of restraint or support to
'revent equipment from falling over. The type of damage that could interruptcommunications within the study area includes loss of electrical power, loss oftelephone lines, loss of buildings housing the equipment, loss of equipment withinthe building and loss of antennae towers. Additional factors that could furtherimpede communications include the high volume of transmissions expected aftersuch an earthquake, both from within the damaged area and from concernedindividuals outside of the area.
In our investigation, we examined the susceptibility of essential communicationsequipment to earthquake forces. This investigation was based upon our evalua-tion of the critical elements of each system reviewed which might be sensitiveto seismic forces; Some elements, for example, automobile portable radios,were not examined since they should not be damaged by an earthquake. Afterthe critical elements were identified, the location, mounting and emergencypower for each were reviewed, generally during an onsite inspection.
5.2 PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY COMMUNICATIONSSYSTEMS
5.2.l POWER PLANT PRIVATE UNIFIED TELEPHONE SYSTEM
PGandE" has a private dial telephone system which provides voice communica-tions among all company facilities. The Diablo Canyon Power Plant is served bytwo independent microwave systems: the primary link, Coast Valley MicrowaveSystem and the alternate link, West Valley Microwave System. The system is
designed to allow plant telephone access to any other company facility.Telephones are located at various locations throughout the plant, including the
B-SI-269 5- I
TERA CORPORATION
Control Room, Hot Shutdown Panels, Technical Support Center, Operational
Support Center, and the offsite Emergency Operations Facility. In addition,
there are phone jacks located at strategic operating points throughout the plant
such as the Control Room, which enable a portable telephone unit to communi-cate with any other telephone in the power plant.
The plant telephone system is a combination of an existing private Automatic
Branch Exchange (PABX) and a Computerized Branch Exchange (CBX). In this
system the telephones connected to the PABX are limited to intra-company
telephone communications, code calling, and conferencing capabilities. Directaccess to the Pacific Telephone System is not available to telephones on this
exchange. The Computerized Branch Exchange (CBX) is a computer-based,
software-controlled telephone exchange and is connected to the PABX via ten
tie trunks..
The CBX telephone system standard features include call transfer, call waiting,conferencing, call forwarding and toll restriction in varying degrees. The CBX
allows telephone sets to be programmed to have various levels of priorityrelative to trunk, line, or feature availability. This capability allows thetelephone system to serve the needs of its users in terms of need or importancerather'than on a first-come first-served basis. Certain CBX telephone sets
serving the key centers will have, in addition to standard CBX station features,an executive override feature which allows the calling party to place'a call toany other CBX telephone, even if the called station is in use. In this instance,
the called party will hear a tone; then the calling party is connected in a fewseconds.
The CBX has been programmed to allow high priority telephone sets to service
the Technical Support Center, Control Room, Operational Support Center,
Emergency Operations Facility, Corporate Incident Response Center and other
key locations. These sets have sole access to the critical telecommunications
lines which interconnect these centers and the Pacific Telephone System dial
network. All other telephones, served by the CBX and utilized for administra-tive or other purposes, will be restricted from using these critical lines when the
B-8I-269
TERA CORPORATION
priority sets are being used. Calls from'either intra-company telephones or thePacific Telephone System which are calling high priority telephones will be
answered by an At'tendant's Console, thereby screening calls not critical to the
handling of an emergency, but allowing important calls to be'extended to high
priority telephones by the individual operating the Attendant s Console.
V
The power plant telephone'system provides a code call feature which can be
initiated by dialing the appropriate code from any power plant telephone. This
sounds code bell units located throughout the plant.'ode numbers are assigned
to key members of the plant staff. A person can acknowledge his code and
communicate with the person initiating the code call by picking up any companytelephone in the plant and dialing his acknowledgement code. The planttelephone system has several built-in conference call features. One seven-phone
conference feature is set aside for emergency use and is normally initiatedfollowing the sounding of the emergency signal or the fire alarm. The controloperator enters the conference call with a pushbutton on the control console.
The next six persons who pick up a company phone and dial a special conferencecall number will be included in the 'call. Four other independent conference callsystems are available, each having a capacity of four in-plant phones plus one
phone from offsite. These conference circuits are available to any grouprequiring this service.
During normal plant operations, all calls into the plant's PGandE Private DialSystem will be via the l8 trunk circuits. In addition, l2 one-way tie trunks willprovide direct dial access to the Private Branch Exchange (PBX) in theCorporate Headquarters in=San Francisco. These tie trunks bypass normal dialtraffic and can only be accessed by high-priority telephones; this ensures thatthe high-priority telephones can call the Corporate Incident Response Center and
the Corporate Offices and also provides an alternate access to the PacificTelephone System through San Francisco if the local Pacific Telephone Exchangein San Luis Obispo were congested due to heavy use during an emergency. The
Corporate Headquarters and Corporate Incident Response Center are providedwith l6 Off-Premises Extensions which allow unrestricted access by eliminatingthe need to have calls come through the San Francisco PBX.
B-Sl-269 5-3
TERA CORPORATION
Direct-dial access to locations outside the company system will be available on
selected CBX telephones via 20outgoing Pacific Telephone System trunks.
These telephone locations will include the Control Room, Technical Support
Center, Operational Support Center, and other designated key plant personnel.
All incoming calls will be via 20 incoming Pacific Telephone System trunks. The
plant will also have four separate special-purpose lines. One line will be
mounted on the" Senior Control Operator's desk in the Control Room and willprovide a means of calling out from the Control Room in the event of an
emergency. This number will be completely unlisted, not even on the dial, toensure that is will not be tied up by persons trying to reach the plant in the event
of any emergency. A second line will be to a telephone in the Plant
Superintendents office. A third line will be to a telephone in the Security
Supervisor's office, and a fourth line. will be dedicated to the Central Alarm
Station (CAS) and the Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) for security use. These
numbers also will be unlisted.
All critical equipment is securely braced and anchored to prevent sliding,
overturning, or striking other equipment or the building. Experience has shown
that when equipment frames are thus restrained, the components within are
capable of withstanding considerable earthquake vibration. All critical telecom-
munications equipment has been strengthened and braced. This includes equip-
ment racks, battery racks, antennae and supports. All equipment evaluated willsurvive the 7.5M Hosgri earthquake loading.
The major components of the PGandE communications systems are presented in
Table 5-I. The PGandE communications capabilities listed by location are
presented in Table 5-2. The power and backup-power supplies for the compo-
nents of the Plant PGandE telephone system, along with information PGandE

5.2.2 PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY UHFAND VHF RADIO SYSTEMS
The plant maintains three UHF radio systems which will be used in the event ofan emergency to establish and maintain point-to-point communications between
the plant Control Room, the Morro Bay Switching Center, the PGandE Informa-
tion Center, the Port San Luis guardhouse, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's
Office Emergency Operations Center, the plant Technical Support Center, the
, PGandE Emergency Operations Facility, the Security Department, and several
mobile and portable radio sets. The radio system equipment provided includes
base stations or radio control consoles at the locations listed above, mobile units
in several of the plant vehicles, numerous hand-held walkie-talkie units, and
mountaintop repeaters (see Table 5-4). The three UHF radio systems are used
for Plant Operations, Security, and Health Physics. The Health Physics system
has two separate modes, one for voice communications and the other for data
transmission. The Health Physics voice communication channel will be used by
field monitoring teams.
All three UHF radio systems are two-frequency systems. The two channel
capability increases the flexibilityof each system for both normal and emer-
gency uses. One channel has short-range onsite coverage, and the other provides
long-range coverage. The short-range channel provides direct radio-unit toradio-unit communications around the plant site, independent of the telephone
system. The use of the long-range radio channels requires all radio transmissions
to be rebroadcast by a mountaintop repeater. The long-range coverage extends
north to Cambria, south to Santa Maria, and east to San Luis Obispo. All the
UHF radio systems have similar short-range and long-range coverage.
The plant radio systems can be used in conjunction with paging devices tocontact onsite personnel who are out of range from other paging systems (i.e.,
the plant intercom). This paging capability can also be used to contact offsitekey plant personnel during offshift hours.
B-8l-269 5-I 0
TERA CORPORATION
The VHF radio system is the company's Los Padres «District Commercial
Operating Network, providing coverage from King City in the north to Solvang in
the south. The Districts radio-equipped vehicles are normally dispatched
through this system by one of several base stations in this network. The Control
Room radio station, the Technical Support Center communications console,'he
Emergency Operations Facility and the mobile stations in the Plant Manager'
and Security Supervisor's automobiles will have the capability to enter and
dispatch through this network if required during an emergency.
Marine and aeronautical radio communications capabilities are considered part
of the Security Emergency Radio System. Access to these radio frequencies willbe available at key plant locations: the Control Room, the Technical Support
Center, the Central Alarm Station and the Secondary Alarm Station.
n
The radio equipment is securely braced and anchored in the same manner as
previously discussed for the PGandE telephone system. All of the PGandE radio
communication systems are powered by battery-battery charger arrangements;
the chargers are supplied by reliable A'C power sources.

5.2.3 CRITICALELEMENTS
While the PGandE communications system is obviously very complicated, our
evaluation indicated that for emergency purposes there are three major redun-
dant and diverse methods of communications for each of the three important
information channels, between the plant and EOF. Communications within the
plant are much less vulnerable to seismic damage. The three major methods ofcommunications, in addition to the "normal" Pacific Telephone System, are:
(I) Off-premise dial telephone lines on the plant exchange using dedicated
'Pacific Telephone lines which are routed both north and south, (2) Dedicated
Pacific Telephone tie lines from the Control Room and the TSC to the PGandE
EOF, and (3) UHF radio transmission from the plant (and portable radios) to the
Davis Peak base/repeater radio and the base radios on Tassajera Peak and
Tepusquet Peak, and VHF radio transmission from the plant to base stations
located on Tassajera and Tepusquet Peaks. The three important radio/telephone
channels of information which are expected at the EOF are the Plant Operations
channel from the Control Room and TSC, the voice Health Physics from the
Control Room and TSC, and the data Health Physics for dose assessment.
For each of these methods, we examined the location and mounting of equipment
and backup power at the plant, at Davis Peak and at the EOF. All the PGandE
communications equipment appears to have been installed -following strictseismic criteria. All the equipment is placed in frames bolted to the floor and
braced to the ceiling. Emergency power is provided by batteries mounted on
seismically designed racks. Backup diesel. generators are available at the plantand at Davis Peak. The microwave antennae are designed to resist !00-mph'wind velocities comparable to seismic loading. The buildings housing 'the
equipment are seismically resistant structures at the plant. The building atDavis Peak has not been analyzed in detail, but it appears to be in a sound
location and capable of withstanding the type of acceleration expected at thatstructure. The temporary trailer housing the equipment at the EOF needs strongfoundation anchoring. In the past, trailers have reacted very poorly duringearthquakes, usually being thrown off their supports. This could sever
all the underground and above ground electrical connections necessary for
B-8I-269 5-l3
TERA CORPORATION
communications and power supply. A permanent EOF is planned and will be
located near the County Sheriff s office. This facility will be designed to meet
seismic criteria. ~"Considering the redundancy of the communications system (Table 5-5),.it is
expected that communications could not be rendered totally inoperable by an
earthquake. Since all three communications channels can use each of the threemajor methods, we would expect that there is a high probability all threecommunications channels would be available to the EOF. Even if one channelwere unavailable, the two remaining channels could be used successfully eventhough the data channel for the dose assessment might require voice relay ofresults from the plant.

5.3 PACIFIC TELEPHONE COMPANY
5.3.l GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Pacific Telephone Company provides telephone service in the San Luis
Obispo area. A Central Office is located in the city of San Luis Obispo, and thearea's associated Community Dialing Offices/Central Offices are located in
Avila Beach, Morro Bay and Pismo Beach. Pacific Telephone serves the DiabloCanyon Power Plant from both the Avila Beach and Morro Bay offices, with each
office providing the plant with 20 trunk lines.
The carrier to Central Offices consists of cable pairs either above or under-
ground; both are present in the study area. Central Offices or switching stationsreroute calls either locally through cable pair. or long distance to another centraloffice. The San Luis Obispo Central Office equipment is presently of themechanical type, but is scheduled to b'e replaced with new electronic equipmentby the end of the year. The equipment at Avila Beach, Morro Bay and PismoBeach offices are the mechanical type. All Central Offices use commercial DC
power, with batteries in line that can provide backup power for 3 to l2 hours.Diesel generators are also available to provide system electricity and to chargethe batteries.
In the study area, all long distance calls must go through the San Luis ObispoCentral Office before being rerouted either north to San Jose, south to the Los
Angeles Basin, or east to Bakersfield.
The carriers between Central Offices are either underground coaxial cables ormicrowave transmitters, or both. Small repeaters are placed underground alongthe coaxial cables and are powered by the cable itself. Depending on the line, a
signal enhancer is necessary every 30 miles or so. It is placed above ground in a
small 8' IO'tructure and uses commercial AC power with the same backuppower as a Central Office. Microwave installations'ccount for a smallpercentage of the carriers. Microwave repeaters have the same role and
B-81-269 5-l6
TERA CORPORATION
characteristics as coaxial signal enhancer equipment. Microwave dishes are
mounted on towers or small buildings.
The routing of calls on dedicated lines is similar to that used for normal calls,except that they always have a free carrier reserved for their use and thereforeare unaffected by the traffic on the system. However, they are susceptible tothe same type of system failure.
5.3.2 REDUNDANCYAND SEISMIC CRITERIA
All the equipment in Central Offices and repeater stations has redundant
backups, except the emergency power generators. The equipment has alarmsystems indicating equipment failure. The company buildings are seismicallydesigned to meet or exceed Uniform Building Code criteria. All the equipmentin Central Offices is set in frames that are bolted to the floor, braced and tiedtogether. Older equipment also is braced to the ceiling vertically with 45 anglesteel braces. New electronic equipment has the tops of the frames braced to thestructural columns in the building. Batteries are stored on seismic racks, and theemergency generators are mounted on springs with locking pins. Microwavedishes and towers are designed for high wind speeds comparable to seismic
loadings.
Pacific Telephone equipment has come through recent California earthquakes
without damage or service disruption. In January l980, two earthquakesoccurred, both centered north of Livermore and both registering greater than 5.0
on the Richter scale. A third, the October l979 El Centro Imperial Valleyearthquake, was over 6.3 on the Richter scale, and the epicenter was onlyI4 miles from the company's Central Office. While these earthquakes did notresult in loss of telephone services past experience has shown above-ground linesto be very resistant to earthquake damage and underground lines to be affectedonly by severe shear movement (fault crossing).
The Pacific Telephone Company has emergency plans for natural and human-
caused service disturbances. The plans include the procedures to be followed in
B-SI-269 5-l7
TERA CORPORATION
the event of.a major earthquake. Emergency capabilities of Pacific Telephone
include:
o Operations Report Center to collect and compile reportsof damage.
o Two emergency centers, one in San Francisco and theother in Sherman Oaks, where managers collectively as-sess damage and direct restoration of service.
o Priority service can be provided to essential customers,-including police, fire, ambulance, doctors, civil defense,and selected federal, state, and city agencies and mostcoin telephones.
o ~ Within hours of,,a major earthquake, telephone employeesfrom outside the area can be mobilized and sent to theaffected area to assist in the assessment of damage andthe restoration of service. This can be done becausetelephone equipment is standardized.
5.3.3 CRITICALELEMENTS
The critical elements of the Pacific Telephone System consist of the power
supply for Central Offices and repeater-enhancer stations, the cable pairs and
coaxial cables, the equipment at the Central Offices and repeaters, the micro-wave tower, and the buildings housing the equipment.
In view of the seismic criteria and the redundancy of the system, it should
survive an earthquake of magnitude 7.5. The most likely failure modes ofcommunication between PGandE and Pacific Telephone consist of losing an
underground cable between the site and either the Morro Bay or Avila Beach
Central Office due to landslides. Other more unlikely modes of failure includethe complete loss of the Central Offices at Morro Bay, Avila Beach and San LuisObispo. Pacific Telephone communications at the plant would not be lost unless
both the Morro Bay and Avila Beach offices were lost. The loss of the San LuisObispo Central Office would disable long-distance calling in the area.

5.4 SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY COMMUNICATIONSSYSTEM
5.4. I GENERAL DESCRIPTION
San Luis Obispo County is currently evaluating the County's emergency com-
munications requirements. The County Emergency Response Plan addresses the
use of the existing law enforcement, radio communications and teletype services
including the state Public Safety Microwave System, along with the use of new
dedicated tie lines, paging devices, emergency monitoring devices, and radio
equipment. The new emergency communications system configuration is ex-
pected to be finalized in the near future.
The San Luis Obispo County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be co-
located in the County Sheriff s Office and will use the Sheriff's radio communi-
cations during an emergency. The County Sheriff's Department has 70-80 radio-
equipped vehicles including patrol cars, vans, and four-wheel drive vehicles, and
40-50 portable radio sets operating on the three different frequencies designated
blue, yellow, and red channels. The radio system mountaintop repeaters are
located on Davis Peak; Rocky Butte, Black Mountain, and Cuesta Peak. The
system has simulcast communications over all four repeaters. The simulcast
system enhances the voice communications quality and operates in a loop
arrangement with the Sheriff's Office Communications Center, from where allcommunications are rebroadcast. Communications between radio-equipped vehi-cles can be accomplished over a separate white channel for limited distances up
to three miles.
The repeaters for the County Local Government frequency and the County
Medical Communications (Med Com), for ambulance dispatching, are co-located
with the Sheriff's mountaintop repeaters; The County Engineering Department
operates on the local government frequency. A base station for the county 'fire
departments is also located at each repeater site.
The mountaintop installations have backup power, liquid petroleum generatorswith 450-gallon tanks..The switchover to backup power takes only a few
B-81-269 5- I 9
TERA CORPORATION
seconds. Batteries provide the backup power for the Sheriff s Office Communi-
cations Center.
The county will be able to notify simultaneously all law enforcement agencies
via the California Law Enforcement Teletype Service, which operates over
leased telephone lines coming from Santa Barbara. The California Office ofEmergency Services (OES) can provide additional communications capability over
the state Public Safety Microwave Radio System. This multichannel system
enables the OES to talk to San Luis Obispo area local police, sheriff, and
California Highway Patrol offices, as well as local government offices. The
radio system base station is located on Mount Lowe, northeast of the city of San
Luis Obispo.
5.4.2 CRITICALELEMENTS
The critical elements of the county communications systems consist of the
mountaintop repeaters and the radio-equipped vehicles. The communications
center at the Sheriff s Office is needed to provide simulcast communications. Ifthe communications center were lost, each repeater would have to be manually
switched to operate in the general repeater mode. The quality 'of the
transmission would decrease but the communications system would be opera-
tional. However, the base stations for the fire department would be lost since
the communications center transmits to the base stations.
A number of portable transmitters.and repeaters are available to replace any
major failure of one system's components.
The facilities at the Sheriff s Office and Davis Peak were visited. The building
housing the equipment at the Sheriff's Office appears to be of marginal
earthquake resistance, although no analysis has been made. The equipment is
bolted to the ground but lacks ceiling bracings. These would greatly improve the
equipment stability. At Davis Peak, the equipment is housed in the PGandE
building; here again it is bolted to the floor but not braced to the ceiling even
though a top railing is provided in the building.

5.5 EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM
5.5.I GENERAL DESCRIPTION
San Luis Obispo County/cities have established an Emergency Broadcast SystemPlan to be used in the event of an emergency situation, such as a natural disaster
or a major accident/explosion. The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) is
available to disseminate emergency information and warnings to the general
public at the request of designated local, state and federal officials. The countyplan presents the objectives of the EBS, which include providing the public withaccurate information in an expeditious manner and controlling rumors withtimely release of information.
The operation of the EBS relies on primary EBS stations to monitor a Common
Program Control Station (CPCS) for emergency alerting and programming. Allother EBS stations are considered primary stations. The County EBS Plan
identifies three radio stations to be Common Program Control Stations (CPCSs),although only one will function as the CPCS at any time. The three stations areKVEC (CPCS-I), KSLY (CPCS-2) and KATY (CPCS-3). The operating CPCS
sends emergency programming to all primary EBS stations, following theactivation of the EBS for an emergency. Primary EBS stations rebroadcast localemergency programming only on a voluntary basis. The procedure for state ornational emergencies is slightly different and primary stations are required torebroadcast emergency programming.
5.5.2 CRITICALELEMENTS
The radio transmission towers and their telephone links are critical to theoperation of the EBS system and are vulnerable to earthquake damage. Anotherconsideration is backup power; the CPCS-I station, KVEC, is the only stationwith backup power for the transmitter and studio. At the present time thestation is not on the air 24 hours a day. The earthquake resistance of the EBS
communications equipment is in question, because the stations reviewed reportedthat the stations'arthquake resistance has not been previously evaluated.
B-8I-269 5-2I
TERA CORPORATION
The activation of the EBS system relies on communications to the CPCS station
over Pacific Telephone lines. The emergency message to be broadcast is also
delivered over the telephone. Activation of the EBS and delivery of the message
could be performed by a messenger or by radio.
One would not expect that all of the EBS stations would sustain damage
rendering them inoperable following an earthquake. The County EBS Plan has
provisions ensuring the operation of the EBS to provide emergency informationto the public. For that purpose, the radio station designated CPCS- I is equipped
with backup power for both the studio and the transmitter to ensure its operation
following the loss of commercial power. In addition, the CPCS-I station has the
capability to arrange to transmit directly from the transmitter site, should the
telephone lines to the transmitter be unavailable. This transmission arrangement
will require that a technician and special equipment be sent to the transmittersite. If the CPCS- I station is not operating, one of the two backup stations
(CPCS-2 or CPCS-3) would assume the role of the operating CPCS. Should it be
necessary, an airborne public address system could be used to complete thenotification of the public.
A list of participating San Luis Obispo County EBS radio and television stationsis presented in Table 5-6. Descriptive information on the three CPCSs is
provided in Table 5-7.

5.6 EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
5.6.l GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Early Warning System (EWS), an area-wide siren system, will be installedwithin the state Basic Emergency Planning Zone to alert the public promptly in
the event of a major accident at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The county is
responsible for sounding the EWS and providing emergency information and
instructions to the public. The initial sounding of the EWS will notnecessarily'ean
that an evacuation is ordered; it will serve to alert the public to tuneradios or televisions to an Emergency Broadcast System station for emergencyinformation and instructions.
The EWS siren system consists of a network of approximately 75 area-type sirensof various sizes designed to attain the desired radius of coverage. The sirens will
I
be installed on existing structures in the PGandE electric distribution system. In
addition, the EWS has a number of sirens used to notify individual houses inremote areas outside the range of area sirens. Indoor warning devices orprocedures will be used in large buildings that may not allow the area sirens tobe heard. Buildings in this category include hospitals, schools, detentionfacilities, factories and large office buildings.
The EWS sirens will be tone-activated through a radio system. Activation of thesiren system is planned to be over the San Luis Obispo County local frequencyI58.805 mHz. This radio network consists of three remote mountaintop trans-mitters linked by microwave to the Sheriff's Office. With this arrangement a
tone encoder is installed at the Sheriff's Office which will activate the threemountaintop transmitters via the county microwave system. Each siren'sactivation signal will be provided by at least one of the three remote mouritain-top transmitters, located at Davis Peak, Rocky Butte and Cuesta Peak.
Backup control of the sirens will be provided by installing necessary encoders on
transmitters located at the Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo, and Pismo Beach city
B-8I-269 5-25
TERA CORPORATION
police or fire departments and designated Zones I, II and III, respectively. These
transmitters willoperate independently of each other.
The Sheriff, upon receiving authorization as stipulated in the San Luis ObispoCounty Emergency Response Plan, will activate the EWS. Security provision toprevent inadvertent operation of the EWS will be built into the system.
5.6.2 CRITICALELEMENTS
We did not conduct a detailed seismic assessment of the EWS. It has no backuppower supply to the normal AC power. The purpose of the EWS system is toalert the public.to turn on their radios for information in the event of aradiological emergency. This system would not be required to notify people ofthe occurrence of a magnitude 7.5 earthquake in the study area. Such anearthquake would be felt for many miles and the strong shaking in the study areawould be sufficient to alert at least as many people as the EWS, and therebyalert people to turn on their radio for further information.

6.0 DIABLOCANYON EARTHQUAKERESPONSE PLAN
6. I INTRODUCTION
The planning approach described in this section provides a conceptual frameworkfor dealing with the occurrence of a large earthquake and radiological accident
in the vicinity of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP). The existing siteradiological emergency plan for DCPP incorporates many of the planningactivities and interfaces appropriate for handling any type of emergency. In
addition, plans exist at the local, state and federal levels for responding to'
major earthquake. The intent of this plan is to supplement and expand, where
necessary, the guidance and planning base in existing plans to specificallyconsider a combined earthquake/radiological emergency. Consistent with the
approach for radiological emergencies, a spectrum of potential earthquakeeffects is considered in terms of specified damage levels. By not limiting the
plan to consideration of specific scenarios, it should be possible to provide a
broad and flexible planning base that can be readily adapted to the exigencies ofthe actual event.
6.I.I PURPOSE
The purposes of the Diablo Canyon Earthquake Response Plan are as follows:
I. Enhance, through the use of specialized operational con-cepts and emergency actions, the overall preparednessand capability of responsible organizations to respond tothe compounding effects of an earthquake on the imple-mentation of radiological emergency plans;
2. Identify the scope and nature of potential earthquakeeffects on critical elements of the DCPP emergency planand actions to ameliorate these effects.
3. Provide suggested operational concepts to be followed bythe responsible organizations to respond to earthquakeeffects and minimize their impact on the radiologicalemergency plans.
B-8I-269 6-I
TERA CORPORATION
4. Provide a planning base for the development of detailedStandard Operating Procedures and interorganizationalagreements.
6.I.2 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS
I. State of California Earth uake Res onse Plan
The state Earthquake Response Plan is the basic plan for responding to a majorearthquake within California. It sets forth the operational concepts and
responsibilities for such emergencies and is the primary source of earthquake-related planning. It provides guidance for each level of emergency response
(Local, Operational Area, Mutual Aid Region, and State) and outlines procedures
by function (Direction and Control, Fire and Rescue, Law Enforcement and
Traffic Control, Medical and Health, Emergency Welfare, and Resources and
Support).
The DCPP Earthquake Response Plan is designed to interface the state plan withradiological emergency plans and provide supplemental guidance for the unique
potentiality of a combined emergency.
2. San Luis Obis o Count Nuclear Power Plant Emer enc Res onse Plan
The county plan establishes organizational responsibilities and actions requiredto minimize radiation exposure in the event of a radiological emergency at theDCPP. It is supplemented by Standard Operating Procedures covering emer-
gency notification, mobilization of emergency personnel, dissemination of infor-mation, responsibilities and authorities, interfaces with other agencies, and
resource listings.
3. DCPP Emer enc Res onse Plan
Pacific Gas and Electric Company has prepared a facility emergency plan toaddress potential accidents or severe natural phenomena occurring at the plant.The plan is, directed at actions necessary to be undertaken by PGandE to
B-SI-269 6-2
TERA CORPORATION
minimize the course of the plant'emergency and to assess the future course of
events and recommended protective actions.
4. State of California Nuclear Power Plant Emer enc Res onse Plan
The state plan describes the responsibilities of state organizations in responding
to a nuclear plant emergency.
5. California De t. of Trans ortation Emer enc Plan (CALTRANS)
The state CALTRANS emergency plan outlines the response of CALTRANS to
peacetime and war emergencies, including earthquakes. This plan ensures that
actions are taken to (I) restore and maintain the state transportation system in
effective operating condition, (2) assist local governments to restore and
maintain their transportation systems in effective operating condition, and (3)
provide engineering and communications support to the state Office of Emer--
gency Services (OES), the CHP, and other agencies. Under the plan CALTRANS
maintains inventories of various equipment including aircraft for emergency
operations support. In implementing the plan CALTRANS will provide highway
damage assessment data and assistance in clearing and repairing major trafficarteries.
6. California De t. of Trans ortation District 5 Emer enc Plan (CALTRANS)
The District 5 CALTRANS plan for the San Luis Obispo area is the local
counterpart of the state CALTRANS plan. It provides for the establishment. of a
District Emergency Planning Officer and for liaison with local agencies and OES
Regional Managers.
7. Federal Plans
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Energy
(DOE), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) would all assist the primaryresponse organizations in the event of a radiological emergency at the DCPP. In
B-8I-269 6-3
TERA CORPORATION
addition, FEMA would have the lead federal agency role for other natural
disasters, such as a severe earthquake.
6. I.3 STATE-OF-THE-ART
The state of planning for a radiological emergency in the same frame ofreference as the occurrence of a major earthquake is still an ongoing and
evolving process. Radiological emergency planning has received constant
attention for many years as part of the federal licensing requirements for
nuclear power plants. The current plans, in fact, represent a new generation of
complexity and sophistication as a result of the experience gained during the
Three Mile Island accident. The decision to explicitly overlay the effects of an
earthquake on the functionability of the radiological plan is most recent and
mandates a synthesis of analysis, planning concepts, and responsibilities not
previously envisioned. Compounding this is the fact that detailed earthquake
planning is still evolving in this country and, for a major event, transcends the
authority, responsibility and capability of a single utility or local governmental
entity.
The approach taken in this plan reflects the developmental nature of this unique
type of planning and the organic character of emergency planning in general. As
for all types of emergencies, the planning process does not focus on the conse-
quences of the events. Rather, in the event that those consequences ever come
to be, it assures that plans are in place which have anticipated and made
provisions for a suitable response.
6.2. OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS
6.2. I - GENERAL
The combined occurrence of a large earthquake and a radiological emergency at
DCPP represents a new challenge to emergency planners. Fortunately reason-
able planning has been accomplished for each event occurring individually. This
plan attempts to bridge the existing planning structure for the separate events,
B-8 I-269 6-4
TERA CORPORATION
leaving intact those elements of each plan that are essentially independent and
providing additional plans for those aspects of a combined. event that present
new or unique problems. It is recognized that more detailed planning, par-
ticularly in terms of implementation, is required.
There are two emergency activities that are of particular concern for this plan:
protective actions for plant personnel and the general public, and the capability
to maintain communications systems relied upon to implement emergency plans.
With regard to the former, evacuations are ordinarily considered as either pre-
impact or post-impact of a given disaster. Pre-impact evacuations are accom-
plished when there is sufficient warning of an event, such as may be the case forfloods or dam failures. Post-impact evacuations, on the other hand, generally
are oriented toward reconstruction or rehabilitation of an already damaged area.
Radiological accidents would normally fall in the pre-impact evacuation cat-
egory while earthquakes, due to the general lack of predictive capability, usually
involve a post-impact evacuation. It is clear that when an earthquake is
considered in common with a radiological emergency, an evacuation could be a
hybrid, serving multiple purposes such as hazard avoidance and rescue. The
decision-making process outlined in this plan is directed at the potential need forevacuation due to a release of radioactivity from the DCPP. It is recognized
that other valid, independent reasons compelling evacuation could arise (e.g., the
potential for a dam failure following an earthquake) and that decisions under
these circumstances would be made on more general criteria applicable topeacetime disasters.
Another general operational concept of relevance here is the inverse pyramid ofresources described in the state Earthquake Response Plan. That is, when a
major earthquake occurs, the initial response and resources must come fromlocal authorities to the extent possible. If these resources are exhausted,
additional assistance may be requested from the Mutual Aid Region and from the
state. Ultimately for large disasters, federal assistance may be required tocontend fully with all aspects of the emergency. It appears that this concept ofoperations is, if anything, even more applicable to the very severe disaster thatan earthquake .and radiological accident would effect. This plan offers
B-81-269 6-5
TERA CORPORATION
appropriate guidance for the initial authorities that would be involved in the
response, i.e., PGandE and San Luis Obispo County. It is expected that where
conditions require additional assistance and resources, they would be obtained
from the appropriate state and federal agencies in the manner described in other
plans.
6.2.2 REPORTING OF THE EMERGENCIES
The occurrence of an earthquake within the State of California would be
reported to the state Office of Emergency Services (OES) by one or more of the
following means:
o The National Earthquake Information Service (USGS)
o Local authorities that experience substantial earthquakeeffects
o Field units of state agencies that experience substantialearthquake effects
o Pacific Gas and Electric Company: for the Diablo Canyonsite PGandE would notify local, state, and federal offi-cials of the occurrence of earthquakes in accordance withthe emergency action levels specified in Reference 3.
The report and confirmation of a major earthquake will precipitate a number ofactions at the state level as described in Reference I, Part II E.
6.2.3 EMERGENCY PERIODS
The state Earthquake Response Plan describes three phases of an earthquake
generated emergency:
o Phase I - Immediate Emergency Phase
o Phase II - Sustained Emergency Phase
o Phase III - Recovery/Rehabilitation Phase
B-8I-269 6-6
'
TERA CORPORATION
The activities 'uniquely associated with a combined radiological emergency and
earthquake would fall into the first phase.'ubsequent response under Phases II.
and III would need to be caveated so that activities taking place in the DCPP
Radiological Emergency Planning Zones would be modified as appropriate to
account for any radiological release.
Somewhat analogously, the utility,county and state radiological emergency plans
for the DCPP specify the sequence of activities for that category of events. If
earthquake effects are superimposed on these plans, the major interactions are
again found in the assessment and protective action functions. Other emergency
activities would need to take account of any direct earthquake effects but would
otherwise be essentially unchanged.
6.2.4 CONCEPT OF LOCAL OPERATIONS
As indicated in the San Luis Obispo County Nuclear Power Plant Emergency
Response Plan, the organizational form of the county and city governments
within the area does not require major changes in the no'rmal lines of authority
to conduct effectively the various actions outlined in the Plan. For an
emergency condition encompassing several political jurisdictions,.the San Luis
Obispo County/Cities~Basic Plan for Peacetime Emergencies and supporting
emergency ordinances at the county and city level provide for a coordinated
emergency preparedness organization with the county assuming the key coordi-
nating role.
As stated in the county plan, county departments participating actively in
responding to an emergency are classified into four groups, according to
function:
o Direction and Control Group
o Response Group
o Support Group
o Assessment Group.
B-SI-269 6-7
TERA CORPORATION
Figure 6-I=provides a schematic for the local response activities associated with
a combined earthquake and radiological emergency. In concept it provides for
parallel activation and implementation of earthquake response plans and radio-
logical emergency plans. In addition, it specifies areas requiring coordination
and joint assessment. A principal element would be an Earthquake Damage
Assessment Center (EDAC) to evaluate the impact of a combined event on the
emergency response activities that would otherwise be prescribed for the
individual events. In addition, the Unified Dose Assessment Center (UDAC)
would evaluate radiological releases from DCPP and recommend the appropriate
radiological protective actions for emergency workers and the public.
The earthquake is taken as the triggering event for the earthquake emergency
plan. If a radiological event had already been in progress at the time of an
earthquake, the only change would be that the radiological emergency plans
would have been previously activated. In either event, the experience of an
earthquake would trigger earthquake response plans (state and local) and would
also activate radiological plans since seismic events are included under each
emergency action level (the action level being a function of the earthquake size).
While the activation of each plan will precipitate a number of response
activities, a timely assessment of damage both at DCPP and within the Basic
Emergency Planning Zone is necessary to establish any synergistic effects.Damage assessment within the Basic Emergency Planning Zone would focus on
primary evacuation routes and communications systems. Damage assessment atthe DCPP would consider any short-term or long-term degradation of plant
systems, onsite evacuation routes, and communications equipment. At this
point, decisions will be made as to the need to continue emergency plansin'ffect.If the earthquake was minor and caused essentially no damage, this
finding would be transmitted to the EDAC (described below) and the earthquake
plans phased out. If significant earthquake damage was experienced, damage
assessment and repair activities would be undertaken and, in the longer term, the
Phase II and III activities of the state Earthquake Response Plan would be
required.
B-81-269 6-8
TERA CORPORATION
In a parallel path, a negative finding of damage to the DCPP itself would be
reported to the EDAC and, in accordance with the radiological plans, emergency
preparedness activities would be phased down. If there was significant damage
reported at the DCPP, appropriate damage assessment activities would be
undertaken. The damage'evaluation would be passed on to EDAC to allow an
integrated assessment of earthquake damage and to UDAC for development of a
dose assessment prediction.
Upon determination that there had been more than slight earthquake damage and
that a potential for a radiocictive release from the DCPP existed, an integrated
protective action assessment would be established. The UDAC would provide
input as to the likelihood and timing of any radioactive release and the
advisability of implementing any protective action. Concurrently, the EDAC
would provide their evaluation of the integrity of communications systems and
evacuation routes and the feasibility of implementing various protection actions.
This input would be made available to the county Direction and Control Group
for a determination of the protective actions to be followed. The range of
protective actions and the protective action guidelines would be identical to
those currently found in the radiological emergency plans. The basis for
selection of protective actions would also be'essentially the same, only the data
base on evacuation. times will have been adjusted to account for the effects of
the earthquake. Where an evacuation is determined to be the appropriate
protective action, the actual implementation options available will be more
numerous and flexible to minimize any earthquake-related impediments.
The specific tasks involved in damage assessment and protective action assess-
ments are described in detail in Section 6.3.

6.2.5 EARTHQUAKEDAMAGE ASSESSMENT CENTER (EDAC)
In contemplating the combined effects of an earthquake and radiological
emergency, it is important to provide the capability for an integrated assessment
function of earthquake damage to the extent that it could impact on emergency
activities. To provide this capability, an Earthquake Damage Assessment Center
(EDAC) will be established. The EDAC will receive reports from damage survey
teams deployed to inspect primary evacuation routes and communications
systems. PGandE would still input plant status and damage to the UDAC but, in
addition, damage to plant transportation routes and communications systems
would be reported to the EDAC.
Based on the damage reports the EDAC will:
(I) Provide an assessment of the availability of,communica-tion links, including EWS and EBS.
(2) Provide an overall evaluation of damage to the evacuationroad network (i.e., no, light, moderate or heavy damage).
(3) Specify the available evacuation routes and alternaterouting if necessary, and approximate capacities at anytime.
(4) Update the. assessments as more detailed reports arereceived or repairs are effected.
Prioritize allocation of repair resources to damaged sys-tems.
The EDAC will comprise representatives of the county, PGandE, CALTRANS,
and Pacific Telephone. These individuals will have the requisite expertise in
highway/bridge design and repair and communications systems.

6.2.6 ADDITIONALINTERFACES WITHSTATE EARTHQUAKERESPONSE PLAN
6.2.6. I EMERGENCY CONDITIONS
Section II of the state Earthquake Response Plan defines five emergency
conditions, A through E, as the basis for planning and response. Condition A is a
general preparedness, or standby, condition based on the assumption that a
serious earthquake will occur in the future. Conditions B, C, D, and E describe
situations prevailing after an earthquake has occurred. The conditions are as
follows:
Condition A - Pre-Emergency
Condition B - Distant from Damaged Area
Condition C - Close to Damaged Area
Condition D - Damaged
Condition E - Evacuation
The operation of this Earthquake Response Plan would only arise under condi-
tions C, D and E. These same emergency conditions can still be used to describe
the earthquake-related status in interfacing with state and other agencies, withone modification. As currently envisioned by the state plan, condition E would
effectively arise only when there existed a risk of dam failure subsequent to an
earthquake. For the DCPP Emergency Planning Zone there could also be the
potential need to evacuate due to a radiological emergency.
6.2.6.2 COORDINATION OF OPERATIONS

maintained to the extent possible under a combined earthquake/radiological
emergency.
The state plan also provides an outline of state, federal, and military operations
that would be responsive in the event of a major earthquake. These conceptual
plans provide a reasonable basis for response by these organizations. Since these
same agencies also have responsibilities under radiological emergency plans forthe DCPP, the individual agencies may want to provide additional guidance forresponding to a dual emergency.
6.3 SPECIAL TASKS
This part identifies those special tasks that might have to be performed
following a major earthquake and radiological emergency. The focus is on those
tasks that require special attention due to the uniqueness of a combined event.
Tasks that would be required to respond to each event independently are assumed
to be performed in accordance with applicable'plans. Where various organiza-
tions are assigned tasks, it is expected that implementing plans and procedures
will be developed accordingly.
TASK A DAMAGE ASSESSMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ROUTESAND COMMUNICATIONS
I. ~Pur ose
To establish policies and objectives and assign general responsibilities for the
following activities:
a.
b.
Early conducting of a reconnaissance of the Basic Emer-gency Planning Zone to determine the nature, extent, andlocation of damage to primary evacuation routes andcommunications sytems.
Follow-up assessment activities to monitor repair andrestoration activities and update evacuation routes andcommunications availability.
B-8I-269 6-l3
TERA CORPORATION
co Assessment of damage reports for input to protectiveaction decisionmaking, allocation of repair resources, andrequirements for alternate means of transport or com-munications.
2. Conce t of 0 erations
Following an earthquake, field units of local government and state agencies will
promptly conduct a rapid reconnaissance of the affected areas to determine the
extent and nature of damage (see References I, 5 and 6). For the Basic Planning
Zone described in Reference 2, particular attention will be given to the condition
of the primary evacuation routes. Reports of damage to these routes will be
channeled to an Earthquake Damage Assessment Center (EDAC) for assessment
and use by the county, Direction and Control Group. In addition, communications
systems availability will be determined by actual usage and system checkouts.
Where specific problems are enc'ountered, damage teams will be dispatched as
appropriate (e.g., to Davis Peak). Other forms of general earthquake damage
assessment will be conducted and reported in accordance with the requirements
of the state Earthquake Response Plan.

A. DAMAGE RECONNAISSANCE
Following the occurrence of a major earthquake, an immediate area reconnais-
sance of the Basic Emergency Planning Zone will be undertaken. The survey
would normally be conducted as follows:
(I) Roads and overpasses for the primary evacuation routeslisted below are surveyed to determine the extent andlocation of damage.
o Route I from San Luis Obispo to Morro Bay andalong the coast to the north;
o Route IOI north and over the mountain range fromSan Luis Obispo;
B-8I-269 6-I4
TERA CORPORATION
Route IOI south from San Luis Obispo and throughthe urbanized region along the south coast;
4
Route 4l, from the intersection with Route I inMorro Bay to Route IOI in Atascadero;
o Orcutt Road, from San Luis Obispo via Huasna Roadand Route 227, to the intersection with Route IOI in
'rroyo Grand;
o Route 227 to Price Canyon Road and hence to theintersection with Route IO I in Pismo Beach; and
o Route I, from the interchange with Route 10l onthe northern outskirts of Pismo Beach, along thecoast and out of the EPZ.
(2) The. damage surveys should identify any failures or dam-age to bridges/overpasses and the occurrence of anylandsliding or ground subsidence. Locations of damageshould be given by bridge number and highway mileagemarker. Figures 6-3a through 6-3h indicate the locationsof bridges and potential areas for landslides and liquefac-tion. The following damage characterizations should beobserved.
~Brid ee
o No observable damage
o Light damage, bridge passable at reduced speed
o Moderate damage, bridge temporarily impassable upto four hours, repairs required
o Heavy damage/failure, bridge impassable and notrepairable within four hours.
Landslides
Estimate number of feet and depth of encroachment ofslide on road shoulder and pavement.
Subsidence
Where subsidence is observed, categorize as light, mod-erate or heavy in a similar manner as described underbridges.
B-8 I -269 6- I 5
TERA CORPORATION
(3) Where moderate or heavy bridge damage or road subsi-dence occurs, or significant encroachment due to slidingis observed, survey the availability of alternate routing.A list of alternate routes for critical highway bridges isincluded in Table 6-l.
(4) Damage assessment should also be performed for all vitalcommunications links relied upon in the'adiologicalemergency plans. These are listed below. Generalassessments can be made'hrough the continued usage andavailability of normal communications channels. Forspecial systems such as EWS and EBS or where specificproblems are encountered;,damage survey teams will bedispatched to the scene (e.g. Davis Peak). If all EBSstations are unavailable, other commercial radio stationswill be surveyed to identify those capable of transmittingemergency instructions. Alternate means will be estab-lished to convey the messages to the station for broad-cast. Reports should be made to the EDAC.

(5) Local damage reconnaissance will usually be accomplishedthrough ground surveys using local agency emergencyvehicles.
(6) Aerial reconnaissance will be utilized where capabilitiesand conditions permit. To the extent practicable, thesesurveys will be initiated by San Luis Obispo County usinglocally available aircraft. Flights will be coordinatedwith and additional equipment requested from the stateOES Mutual-Aid Region (see Appendix A of Reference I
and References 5 and 6).
(7)
(8)
All damage reconnaissance missions will be coordinated,or be a part of, the general damage reconnaissancemissions conducted pursuant to the state EarthquakeResponse Plan.
Where no damage to evacuation routes or communicationssystems is observed, negative reports are to be made toEDAC to establish completeness of reconnaissance.
B. DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
(2)
Following the submission of damage reports from the fieldreconnaissance teams, the EDAC will evaluate the dataon evacuation route and communications systems damage.
An overall assessment will be made as to the damagesustained by the evacuation road system in accordancewith the four categories defined below:
(3)
o Essentially no damage
o Light damage
o Moderate damage
o Heavy damage.
An overall assessment of the damage to communicationssystems will be made with findings as to capability forvoice and data transmission from the plant to the EOFand EOC; capability for communications between ele-ments of the county emergency organization; and theoperability of the EWS and EBS.
Estimates will be made of the resources required to repairprimary evacuation routes and communications systems.
B-8I-269 6-l7
TERA CORPORATION
The resource requirements will be compared to resourceavailability and a priority agenda will be prepared
for'onductingrepairs. Time estimates for the restoration ofservice will then be determined and made available todecisionmakers.
(5) Periodic updating of the damage assessments will be madeto include progress of. repairs and more detailed damagesurveys.

TASK B RESOURCES AND SUPPORT (REPAIRS)
~Pur ose
To establish policies and objectives and assign general responsibilities for the
following activities:
a. Conduct emergency repair and/or restoration of essentialstreets, roads, highways and related bridges, overpasses,underpasses and tunnels.
b. Clear debris. from access routes, evacuation routes, andother vital roads, streets, and highways, to include that onboth public and private property.
Ce Coordinate, with appropriate law enforcement agencies,the barricading of areas which must be cordoned off inthe best interest of public safety.
d. Procure and allocate required transportation resources(air and surface).
2. Conce t of 0 erations
Following an earthquake, there would be heavy demands placed on emergency
manpower and essential supplies, equipment and services. This might include:
skilled workers, transportation, fuels, heavy equipment, food, potable water, etc.
Consequently, government at all levels must be organized accordingly and be
prepared to respond expeditiously to, and meet, the many demands that will be
placed on resources required to support emergency operations. Coupled with the
above would be the immediate requirements for clearance of debris from firelanes, access routes, pre-planned evacuation routes, and main traffic arterials.
Engineering/public works agencies, and segments of the private sector would be
in great demand for this activity.
For a combined earthquake/radiological emergency it will be most essential toestablish priorities for those resources required to maintain or re-establishevacuation capabilities. This objective will not be inconsistent with the more
8-SI-269 6-37
TERA CORPORATION
general need to reopen transportation arteries and communications links to
recover from an earthquake independent of a radiological event. As discussed
under Task A, the EDAC will evaluate damage reports, estimate repair resources
and prioritize the implementation of repairs. The purpose of this task is toeffect those repairs.
3. ~S*i i* T
ao For bridge-type damage, repairs will consist of restoringthe roadway to a level and adequately supported condi-tion. Where the damage has resulted from abutmentsettlement or rocker bearing failure, ramping with anappropriate fill material will be required. Where thedamage has resulted in the loss of support columns (butnot collapse of the span) shoring will be required.
b. For roadway impairments due to subsidence, regradingwill be required to return serviceability.
c. For landslides leading to road blockage, clearing of slidematerial willbe required to reopen the route.

TASK C TRAFFIC CONTROL
~Pur ose
To establish policies and objectives and assign general responsibilities for the
following activities:
a.
b.
Provide traffic and crowd control in accordance withevacuation plans.
Provide law enforcement and crowd control support tomultipurpose staging areas and other major operations.
Ce Survey and report damage and other vital information.
2. Conce t of 0 erations
If the protective action selected by the county Direction and Control Group is to
implement a partial or total evacuation, traffic controls will have to be applied.
These controls will channel traffic to the appropriate evacuation routes, control
access to major arterials to maximize flow, and block off damaged road areas or
hazards and provide rerouting. The county Direction and Control Group will
initiate plans to establish traffic control during the evacuation (see Section Il.7.5
of Reference 2). Various law enforcement agencies will have responsibilities for
implementing traffic controls. Additional assistance will be procured from
Mutual Aid Regions and state and federal agencies in accordance with
Appendix C of Reference I.
3. ~5e T k
In addition to those tasks specified in Section ll.7.5.B of Reference 2, the
following should be performed:
a. Coordinate with the county Direction and Control Groupto confirm the sequence of evacuation and routes. Theroutes may differ significantly from the pre-designatedevacuation routes established in the county plan for a
B-8I-269 6-39
TERA CORPORATIONl
radiological emergency. The routing will be a function ofearthquake damage and the restoration of damagedroutes.
b. Install traffic controls and barricades. Earthquake dam-aged sections of road and bridges will need to be blockedoff and traffic rerouted as necessary. If the availableevacuation routes have been significantly reduced, addi-tional traffic controls will be required to maximizetraffic flows.

TASK D PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR NONESSENTIALPLANT PERSONNEL
~Pur ose
To establish an approach and assign general responsibilities for the following
activities:
a. The integrated evaluation of emergency data as a basisfor decision making.
b. Determination of the appropriate protective actions fornonessential plant personnel taking into consideration theeffects of earthquake damage.
2. Conce t of 0 erations
In the event of a coincident earthquake and radiological emergency, the response
plan described in Section 2 of this plan would provide the framework forcoordination of key tasks. From a protective action perspective, it will be
essential to obtain two types of information: (I) the status of the plant and the
likelihood and timing of any onsite release of radioactivity, and (2) the status of
evacuation routes from the site. Under this plan the type (I) information willcontinue to be provided by the onsite emergency organization in a manner
essentially unchanged from a purely radiological emergency (see Section 6 of
Reference 3). The type (2) information would also be provided by the onsite
emergency organization. Four options exist for the evacuation of onsite
personnel:
o Evacuation south via the access road to the Avila BeachGate
o Evacuation north through Montana de Oro State Park
o Evacuation via air (helicopter)
o Evacuation via water.
8-8I-269 6-4 I
TERA CORPORATION
The land evacuation routes will be surveyed for earthquake damage and revised
transit time estimates made in accordance with Task A. Availability of
helicopter or water transport will be determined on a continuing basis. The Site
Emergency Coordinator will be responsible for deciding the appropriate protec-tive actions. The selection of protective action will be made on the basis of
minimizing personnel exposures to radiation.
The determination of the most effective protective actions to be taken would be
conducted as follows:
ao Initially a determination will be made as to the ability toevacuate personnel along either the northern or southernland routes. This decision will be based on the timeavailable before a release of radioactivity onsite and thetime required to transit the evacuation route. Evacuationon foot would also be considered if, by doing so, a furthermitigation of the radiological hazard is assured.
b. An ongoing assessment should be made of the availabilityand capacity of helicopter and'boat transport. Thesemodes of evacuation would normally be considered asbackups to a land evacuation.

TASK E PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR THE PUBLIC
I. ~Pur ose
To establish an approach and assign general responsibilities for the following
activities:
a. Integrated evaluation of emergency data as' basisfor'ecisionmaking.
b. Determination of the appropriate protective actions forthe public taking into consideration the effects of earth-quake damage.
2. Conce t of 0 erations
In the event of a coincident earthquake and radiological emergency, theresponse'lan
described in Section 6.2 of this plan would provide the framework for
coordination of key tasks. From a protective action perspective, it will be
essential to obtain two types of info'rmation: (I) the likelihood and probable
timing of releases of radioactive materials offsite from the DCPP and (2) the
continued viability of various protective action options. Under this plan, the
type (I) information will continue to be provided. by the Unified Dose Assessment
Center (UDAC) in a manner essentially unchanged from a'urely radiological
emergency (see Section l.6 of Reference 2 and Section 6 of Reference 3). The
type (2) information will be supplied by the Earthquake Damage Assessment
Center (EDAC) and will indicate a damage-level characterization for the
evacuation road system, the locations of specific damage and alternate routing
around the damage, and the status of emergency communications systems. With
these data the county Direction and Control Group will be able to make an
integrated evaluation of the overall emergency situation.. It should be noted
(reference Figure 6-I) that this dual evaluation will only arise where there has
been non-negligible earthquake damage in the Basic- Emergency Planning Zone
and where there exists a coincident potential for an offsite release of radioactiv-
ity from the DCPP site. If either element is not present, emergency planning
B-8I-269 6-43
TERA CORPORATION
activities will be governed by the appropriate earthquake response plans or the
DCPP Emergency Plan.
The fundamental criteria that would trigger protective action would remain the
Protective Action Guidelines (see Section l.4 of Reference 2.and Section 6 of
Reference 3). The types of protective actions that are available would also be
substantially the same as those indicated in the San Luis Obispo County Nuclear
Power Plant Response Plan:
o initial precautionary actions
o Selective evacuation
o General sheltering
o Relocation
o ~ General evacuation
o Selective sheltering
o Administering of radioprotective drugs
o Ingestion pathway isolation.~ .
Emphasis, however, will be placed on a flexible evacuation menu that minimizes'ny
impacts resulting from earthquake damage.'.
~5ifi*T
The determination of the most effective protective actions to be taken would be
conducted as follows (see Figure 6-2): I
ao Initially, a determination yvill be made as to the ability toconduct a general evacuation of the Basic EmergencyPlanning Zone. This decision will be based on the timeavailable before the arrival of radiation offsite and thetime required to conduct a general evacuation. Theevacuation time will be a value keyed to the level ofearthquake damage sustained by the evacuation roadsystem. Representative evacuation times for four levels
B-8I-269 6-44
TERA CORPORATION
of earthquake damage have been precalculated and areprovided in Table 6-2. The availability of sufficientcommunications equipment to effect the evacuation willalso be a factor in the decision to evacuate.
b. If a general evacuation is not considered advisable, selec-tive and/or staged evacuations of the public would beconsidered. Two additional inputs of data will be utilized:the wind direction and the specific locations of earth-quake damage in the evacuation road system.
(I) A selective evacuation would involve movement ofpeople only out of certain areas and would result ina partial evacuation of the Basic Emergency Plan-ning Zone. Normally the objective would be toevacuate the areas downwind of the release.
(2) A staged evacuation would involve a progressiveevacuation in several stages or steps. It wouldresult in a total evacuation of the Basic EmergencyPlanning Zone. Normally this approach would beemployed where the damage to evacuation routeswas such that a sequential ordering of areas to beevacuated would result in a more efficient (faster)use of the available roads and, therefore, a fasterevacuation.
(3) Table 6-2 provides representative evacuation timeestimates for staged and selective evacuations forfour wind directions. This data will provide a guidefor decisionmakers to tailor an appropriate evacua-tion plan.
co In those instances where evacuation is not the preferredprotective action, other protective actions such as shel-tering will be implemented.

I.O OVERVIEW OF CRITICALROUTES
I. I INTRODUCTION
This section contains maps, tables and summary sheets which provide an
overview of the evacuation routes and plant access roads discussed in the report.This section should be used as reference for the location of roads and sites ofpotential ground failure.
A table of roads surveyed is presented providing a uniform numbering system
used in subsequent sections, and a description of the sections of the roads
considered. This is followed by a map of the roads which should be referred tofor their locations, as the field reconnaissance maps do not contain thisinformation.
The color field reconnaissance maps contain a detailed view of potential sites ofground failure in relation to the critical routes, topography, population and
cultural features. The site numbering systems defined by these maps are
referred to in subsequent sections.
The "Road Summary Sheets" presents a summary of potential ground failureproblems for each of the critical routes.

ROAD LENGTH
Road No.: 1
Road Name (stretch): Route 101 - North (from northern city limits of SLO to theSanta Margarita turnoff)
8.0 miles NO LANES 4 1 anes (narrow)
LANDSLIDING (REF. NO. 1 thru 11 ) This is the Questa Grade-consideredmountainous. Cal Trans reports continued fill-settlement and ground water problemsin this area. Acceleration in this area are 0.2 or less - this being the lowerlimit for slides to occur. However because natural, cu't and fill slopes areover steepened and due to existing problems blockage is anticipated. Many rockfallswill occur, and some rock slides and debris slides. Closing the 2 northbound lanes(No 1, 3, 4, 5) The higher fills (No. 8) will probably settle down and out, severingthe two southbound lanes locally and possibly all lanes. Slumps and debris slides mayoccur on the westerly facing fill slopes.
LIQUEFACTION: None anticipated.

ROAD SUMMARY SHEET
Road No.: 2Road Name (stretch): Route 101 - Central (from Avila turnoff to SLO limits)ROAD LENGTH 8. 9 mi 1 es NO. LANES 4+
LANDSLIDING (REF. NO.35-36-52 ) A 400 foot road cut section issusceptible to failure (onramp northbound 101 from Avila) " this will cause totalclosure of this onlamp w/ rock falls and rock slides. At cut slope slide areas35 and 36 (est. 1,100 feet) rock falls may close the outside lane - southboundlane only - NOT total impairment.
LIQUEFACTION is a major concern through the SLO creek area (17,000 feet discontinuous).Lateral spreading and fill settlement may remove one or more lanes discontinuously,where the highway either, crosses the creek or parallels the creek. Water is very high(near surface) and numerous fills were constructed along the highway.

(No. 51) may close both northbound lanes and offramp to Avila
1 Southbound lane with rock falls, rock slides, and slumps.
LIQUEFACTION One main area of 1 iquefaction is expected in fills across the Price Cyn;-drainage (5,000) foot section. It would result in lateral spreads and settlement to .fills. This could close all four lanes both north and south bound in several locations.Liquefaction also could take place at the Avila Beach/U.S. 101 interchange across CraggCyn. drainage; fills would be susceptible to settlement. e

2.0 LANDSLIDES
2. I OVERVIEW AND METHODOLOGY
Landslides - Overview
Earthquake-induced landslides differ from conventional landslides by their geo-
metry, failure mechanism, and type of sliding. Conventional landslides arecaused by water infiltrating a slope after rainfall. The water has a tendency tosignificantly decrease the shear strength (e.g., cohesion and friction) of wea-thered rock and soil material. In addition, the infiltrated water increases theweight of the slide mass and decreases the confining effects at the toe of theslope. Once the shear strength of the material is exceeded, the slide mass movesdownward in response to gravity.
Earthquake-induced landslides are triggered by energy developed by the earth-quake in the form of ground shaking. The shaking, depending on its intensity andduration, weakens and eventually loosens rock and soil materials, forcing themdown the slope. These landslides appear to be mostly confined to surfacefailures and result in rock falls, rock slides, soil falls, and debris slides. Very fewdeep-seated rotational block glides or slump failures have been observed as a
result of earthquakes. Approximately 90 percent of the failures will be eitherrock falls, rock slides, soil falls or debris slides. Only IO percent will form deep-
I
seated rotation, block glide or slump types of failures (Harp, l981). During thel97l San Fernando earthquake most of the failures were only I. meter thick andhad average length-to-depth ratios of 3I-to-I to a maximum of 80-to-I (Yen,I 978).
The factors controlling the triggering of landslides are the intensity and durationof ground shaking and steepness of the slope. The potential for landslides isincreased when steep slopes are underlain by low density, weathered, weaklycemented soils and/or highly fractured material. There are indications that rainsaturation has little or no additional adverse effect on slopes that wouldotherwise be susceptible to earthquake-induced failures (Leighton, I 974, Harp,
B-8!-227 2-I
TERA CORPORATION
l98I). Since this has not been proven, and for the purposes of this study, we
have considered the worst possible condition which would be the combined effectof water-saturated slopes and simultaneous excessive ground shaking at a site.
Seismic-induced landslides normally occur with the initial shock of an earth-quake. However, in some cases the initial shock may only loosen or weaken rockor soil material on a slope, while subsequent aftershocks may eventually cause
failure. To compound the problem, heavy 'rain following a major earthquakemight cause failure of slopes that were originally weakened by the initial shock.
Studies by Wilson (l978) of the Santa Barbara (M = 5.I) earthquake of August l3,l978 showed that artificially cut slopes are significantly more prone to earth-quake induced failure than natural slopes of the same geologic material.
Rock falls and rock slides are most common on steep slopes devoid of a soilcover. Broken rock in steep road cuts is very susceptible to falls or slides. Soil
falls generally occur along very steep (near vertical) natural slopes or on man-made cuts where blocks of unconsolidated materials become detached and fall.
Based on work by'Harp (l98l), slopes greater than 35o (I'h:I slope ratio) whererock is exposed are prone to rock falls and rock slides. This is considered
conservative since statistics indicate a 40-to-45o lower limit. Furthermore, thehigher the degree of fracturing or jointing of the rock, the higher, is theprobability of failure. Other discontinuities such as bedding or foliation,'nlessadversely oriented out of slope, appear not to be a major issue with regard toseismically-induced rock falls or rock slides (Harp, I 98I). Debris slides usuallyoccur on moderate-to-steep natural slopes and include only loose soil or colluvialmaterials above the bedrock. Usually very steep slopes are devoid of a soil coverand bedrock is exposed which is subsceptible to failure. Soils or colluvialmaterial have a tendency to fail on slopes of 25o (2:I slope ratio) or greater(Harp, 198I). Research has shown that soils most susceptible to failure
are'ranular
and nonorganic.

Had the l978 Santa Barbara earthquake been any larger, a number of severe
failures would have resulted. In a study of earthquake-induced landslides of I5
major earthquakes throughout the world, cut failures were very common whilefill failures were less frequent (Wilson, l.978). However, slopes comprisingartificial fillalso are prone to seismic induced failures. The geometry of the fill(i.e., slope ratios and slope heights) and consistency of the soil materials willcontrol its stability or lack of stability. Fills are known to fail either byslumping or by debris slide. Poorly compacted, low cohesive fill materials on
slopes in excess of 25o are subject to earthquake-induced failure.
Landslides - San Luis Obis o Area
Numerous landslides have occurred in the study region (Envicom, l974). The
type and distribution of failure probably reflect specific bedrock conditions,namely: bedding, jointing and fracturing, and steep slope. These slides weremost likely triggered by water infiltrating the slopes and were not related 'toearthquake activity. None of the slides near the evacuation roads and highwaysare known to be active and the majority of the larger features are consideredquite old, possibly having moved during a much wetter climate (i.e., over I l,000years ago).
Where earthquake-induced slides are likely to occur in the study area, they wouldin most cases fall onto highways rather than occur below them. While materialsfalling on the roadways would cause at least partial blockage, the slides thatoccur downslope from a roadway could sever one or more lanes, rendering themimpassable.
The quantities of materials generated at the toe of a slope from any one slidewill vary depending on the dimension of the slide. Most of the shallow slides thatoccurred during the l97l San Fernando earthquake had lengths of IS to 300
meters and thicknesses of .2 to I meter (Morton, l97I). Assuming average widthof these slides to be about one-third of the length and average thickness to be
I meter, quantities ranged between 45 to 300 cubic meters of displaced debris.It is estimated that similar quantities could be developed from slides occurring in
B-8 I-227 2-3
TERA CORPORATION
the study area. Slides might occur adjacent to each other and form coalescing
slide masses.
The removal time to clear a road blocked with slide debris depends on theamount of materials to be removed, the number and type of heavy equipment
available, access to the site, and distance to a suitable disposal or borrow area.
The most practical types of heavy equipment for expediting road repair work are
rubber-tired loaders and tractor bulldozers. Normally, a loader of the typeowned by CALTRANS can excavate 300 cubic yards of loose unconsolidated
material per hour. Such loaders are available at the CALTRANS maintenance
stations and could be on site within 30 minutes. A bulldozer (e.g., D-7
Caterpillar) would be able to move more yardage per hour. However, the onlyone owned by CALTRANS in this area is stationed on Highway I north of Morro
Bay and would require a long time to bring to most sites..Local contractorswould be able to provide such equipment with a delay of 2 to 4 hours. In order toobtain clearing time estimates for our study, we have assumed that once on site,front loaders would be able to clear the road at the rate of 200 ft/hour per lane.
This implies that no hauling is required and the debris is l2 feet wide with an
average thickness of 3 feet. All the estimates have been made assuming thatonly one loader is working on any given road.
Because roads are long linear structures, multiple failure can occur any place
along them, creating several blockages. In this case, the blockages may have tobe removed one at a time from each end unless equipment is available at
tintermediate points. As an alternative, for emergency purposes a road can be
reopened after a major landslide by grading a road over the top of the slide mass
or by passing it around the perimeter of the mass. This would certainly be time-saving; however, caution must be exercised when people or equipment areworking in an area of potential active sliding. Roads severed or heavily damaged
by a slide located below the road may be difficult to repair within a reasonable
time frame. Such occurrences would have to be dealt with on a case-by-casebasis.

Assessment of Landslide Potential
The number of technical reports on earthquake-induced landsliding is verylimited. Much of the state-of-the-art work is presently being conducted by theU.S. Geological Survey through their Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.
The criteria established by the Geological Survey have been used for an earth-quake-induced landslide study of San Mateo County, California (in press).Geologic conditions in San Mateo County are in part similar to those in this studyarea. The Association of Bay Area Governments also have used the GeologicalSurvey's criteria for developing landslide assessment maps in the greater San
Francisco area. The California Division of Mines and Geology has procured a
seismic hazard study of Santa Clara County, California (CDMG, 1974), thoughthe criteria used for their "Relative Seismic Stability Map" (Plate 6) were notdiscussed. The Seismic Safety Element of San Luis Obispo County (Envicom,1974) includes a "Landslide Risk Map" (Plate 2B); however, the criteria used inthat study appear to be antiquated.
Criteria for assessing earthquake-induced landslides for this study were de-
veloped primarily from the criteria established by the U.S. Geological Survey.Tables 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 summarize the criteria developed by the U.S.Geological Survey for studies in the San Francisco Bay area. Tables 2-2 and 2-3have been modified slightly to take into account local geologic conditions. Usingthese criteria (ABAG, 1980-81) to determine seismic-induced landslide potential,all slopes analyzed within the study area fall into an "unstable condition" forboth summer and winter conditions. However, the intensity of ground shakingwill vary from strong to very strong to occasionally violent with distance fromthe fault (tables presented in Appendix). On the Modified Mercalli scale,intensities will range from Vll to IX. According to the definition given to thescale, earthquake landsliding has been known to take place within this range ofintensities.
B-81-227 2-5
TERA CORPORATION
Basically, there are four main factors that control earthquake-induced landslid-
ing: I) strong ground motion, 2) slope inclination, 3) surface geologic and
engineering parameters, and 4) conventional landsliding susceptibility (water-
induced failures). Aerial photographs (Fairchild, l 978), geologic and topographic
maps, and a field inspection were used to collect information on those slopes
suspected of potential landsliding. Field data sheets were prepared for each site,'nd a summary of pertinent data for each site is given later in the Appendix.
Only slopes that trend immediately adjacent to or near the roads or highways
were considered in this study. All slopes (natural slopes, cuts, and fills) were
excluded from this study unless they exceeded the lower limits of the criteriapresented in Table 2-4. No deep-seated potential slides were suspected or
recognized along the roads surveyed. Fill slopes normally are difficult toanalyze by inspection since their stability is in part related to hoyr well theywere compacted during construction. Usually new road fills have been con-
structed to adequate standards, though there are exceptions. Old road fills or
newer ones with slope ratios in excess of 2:I (horizontal-to-vertical) were
considered zones of likely failure. Table 2-5 summarizes the relative suscepti-
bility to seismically-induced landsliding for each of the slope areas investigated
in this study.
Based on the assessment criteria, many slopes along the evacuation routes have
been categorized as potential landslide zones, capable of failing under seismic
shaking. Since the current state-of-the-art requires a conservative approach toformulating the assessment criteria, one does not expect that all slopes so
identified will actually fail. It is judged that the number of failures- willdecrease rapidly with distance from the fault, based principally on the attenua-tion of acceleration. In order to estimate the expected number of slides and the
corresponding clearing times, the criteria presented in Table 2-6 were developed
for three damage levels. These criteria reflect engineering judgment based on
geological data and past earthquake experience. For a potential landslide
located in a given acceleration zone, the expected footage of failure was
obtained by multiplying the total potential footage by the percentage corres-
ponding to the selected damage level.
B-8I-227 2-6
TERA CORPORATION
A summary of expected footage failure and clearing time is presented in the
table, "Summary of Landslide Potential by Road" (Section 2.2). tn this table,each road was divided according to the range of expected ground accelerations itwas expected to experience (PGA zone). For each hypothetical demand level,the number of expected failures, number of lanes affected, and the. totalaffected footage are summarized. The estimated repair times for each damage
level is summarized first by number of affected lanes, by PGA zone, and finallyby the total repair time estimate for the road. For roads 13-3l, those notconsidered main evacuation routes, we have summarized the clearing time foronly one lane of traffic, as this was considered sufficient clearance for thoseroads under emergency conditions.
Section 2.3 presents detailed summary data concerning each landslide potentialsite. The times for clearance referenced in. that section represent timeestimates obtained from the field survey. Section 2.4 presents detailedinformation from this field survey.

TABLE 2-4
LOWER LIMITCRITERIAFOR SLOPE SELECTION
SLOPES
o Rock falls and rock slides can occur on man-made ornatural bedrock slopes in excess of I6: I (35 ) slope ratio.
o Soil falls and soil debris slides can occur on man-made(e.g., fills) or natural slopes in excess of 2: I (25 ) sloperatio.
o Slumps, rotational or block glides can occur on any slopeinclination angle above IO . This type of sliding is mostdependent on bedrock structure, geometry and engine-ering parameters.
MATERIALS(GREATEST SUSCEPTIBILITY)
o Soils: Soils that are granular, non-organic, have littlecohesion (i.e., less than 5II psi) and have low frictionalstrengths (i.e., less than 25 angle of interval friction) aresusceptible to failure.
o Rock: Bedrock that is highly fractured or jointed orwhich displays any other type of discontinuity, especiallyif planes are open, is susceptible to failure.
ACCELERATION
Any site that is estimated to exceed 0.20 g (MM Vll toVll+ intensity) can produce displacement on the order of5cm, which can cause a slope to fail. If slopes wereconsidered overly critical for other reasons, accelerationas low as O.I2 g was considered the lowest limit necessaryto produce failure.
CONVENTIONALLANDSLIDING
Any slope that shows outward signs of distress (e.g.,hummocky relief, tension cracks, etc.) or a potentialinstability due to geologic structure or rock type andwater infiltration could fail under the combined effects ofheavy precipitation and severe ground shaking. Anyknown active landslide may temporarily accelerate duringseismic shaking.

Probably are old fills - One built over another. Fill composed of excavated sedimentary
debris - siltstone shale/sandstone minor. These could settle down and out taking one or
more (all) lanes. Most of these have been constructed across swales and valleys and in
excess of 100 feet. No benching. Cal Trans reports excessive settlement of these fillsand water problems.

(See typical section next page). The 'road traverses along the west and south sides ofSee Canyon with North/Northeast/east facing slopes. Bedding is generally favorablewith local section daylighted. No mapped landslides. No obvious large slides (historic)Road cuts are 4 to 4".1 to 30-40.'igh exposing bedrock over slop~ wash Expect thatSlope wash - siltstone fragments in a clayey/sandy-silt matrix to 10'hick average
Damage anticipated - numerous debris slides a few 100'n length will cover entire roadlocally - wet condition will only enhance the problem. The natural slopes have beenundercut w/steep high slopes - even though bedding is favorable. Expect thatentire road will be impassable and will take many days for access. Possibly someliquefaction (settlement) in valley floor. Ground water expected to be shallow eg

Remarks/Conclusions/Recommendations:Both sides of road - narrow. No benching - loose. Landslide (mapped) - horseshoe bend-"ancient", slide debris exposed - doubtful of reactivation. Road traverses through entirehead scarp area - slide appears to be confined at toe. Not a hazard except in cuts - rockfalls/debris slides consolidated by coherent stands well in near vertical cut road cuts.
There are eight zones of potential sliding - all cuts somewhat similar - eg. v. steep, highwith bedrock exposed, susceptable to rock falls popouts, possible minor slumps. Also soildebris slides above where natural slopes are 2:1
Numerous small old fills across drainages - settlement outside lane is possible could be
repaired rapidly with dozer - Two hours estimated each.

3.0 LIQUEFACTION
3. I OVERVIEW AND METHODOLOGY
Li uefaction - Overview
Under the proper soil and ground water conditions, ground failure by liquefaction
may occur during an earthquake. Liquefaction is defined as the transformation
of cohesionless water-saturated material, such as sand, from a solid state to a
fluid state. The cause of cyclic mobility or liquefaction in sands is the build-up
of excess hydrostatic pore pressure due to the application of cyclic shear
stresses. The shear stresses are generated in a soil deposit during ground
shaking. As a consequence of the applied cyclic stresses, the structure of the
undrained soil tends to become more compact. If the sand is loose, the pore
pressure increases rapidly to a value equal to the confining pressure, and the soil
layer may undergo large deformations and be in a state of extreme liquefaction.
If the sand is more compact, it will undergo limited deformation and partial
liquefaction. Any structure, fillor embankment located on a liquefying soil willundergo some deformation varying from minor settlement to complete sinking.
The goal of a liquefaction potential analysis is to differentiate between those
situations where liquefaction can cause damage and those situations where
liquefaction, per se, may not cause significant damage.
Three major factors are conducive to liquefaction: ground shaking, shallow
water table, and sandy material. Generally, low-lying areas mantled by young,
unconsolidated, well-sorted sand and/or silty sand (clay free) materials are the
most susceptible to liquefy. In addition, some minor topographic relief, such as
stream banks or gentle to steep slopes, is normally needed to cause liquefaction
ground failure. However, ground failure can occur on flat ground if the
liquefiable materials are unevenly loaded, such as in the case of road fills.

TERA CORPORATION
Li uefaction - San Luis Obis o Area
Several of the evacuation routes travel through, areas susceptible to liquefactionin the event of a major earthquake. However, no known historic liquefaction has
occurred in the study area. The areas susceptible to liquefaction could
experience accelerations between 0.12 and 0.50 g for an event of magnitude 7.5
occurring on the Hosgri fault. According to Youd et al. (1978), the lower limitfor liquefaction to occur is an acceleration of about 0.2 g. This suggests thatalmost all locations within the study area have the potential to liquefy. The
resulting damage at each site will depend upon the specific soil and groundwater
conditions.
Those areas most capable of liquefaction damage to roads and highways are
located on valley floors, river channels, estuaries, and low-lying coastal areas.
These are areas that have been flooded historically or within the recent geologic
past. The most recent flooding may have deposited very young, loosely-packed
granular sediments. Generally, the continuous ground water table is shallow in
these areas, though it may fluctuate seasonally or over a period of time. Salt
water (intrusion) is reported to underlie the Morro Bay and other coastal sections
south of Pismo Beach (DWR, 1971 and 1972).h
The degree of damage to a road or highway caused by liquefaction is difficult toassess. Liquefaction may cause surface cracking, settlement, or lateral spread-
ing. During the process of high pore pressure generation,'ater is caused to flowupward to the ground surface where it emerges in the form of sand boils.Formation of cracks is associated with the initial emergence of water from theground. Such effects probably will not cause impairments to roads or highways.
With regard to roads and highways, liquefaction-induced settlement and slope
failure of artificial fills may be the most common and most dam'aging effects.The increase in pore water pressure in the fillor underlying materials can reduce
the shear strength of the materials causing failure by differential, lateral flow,settlement and/or slope failure. This may occur especially in the case of high
narrow fill slopes where there is a lack of lateral confinement. Lateral spreads
are defined as large masses of material that move laterally.on liquefied sand or
B-81-227 3-2

silt. This can cause sections of road to rotate or subside. This type of failure
usually occurs along high steep bluffs, though it has been known to occur in low
relief areas such as along flood plains and deltas (Youd, I 979).
Damage from liquefaction to roads and highways may be minor to severe.
Flexible pavement, such as asphalt, may be able to withstand minor differential
settlement, cracking, and lateral spreads without disruption of traffic flow.
Concrete roadways may crack, causing portions of the surface to heave or
separate several inches to several feet and rendering the road impassable. Road
embankment materials may slump or settle, partially removing one or more
lanes, or the total fillmay fail.
Remedial repairs may require only filling in cracked pavement or constructing
earthen ramps over areas that have been vertically displaced. Major lateral
displacements can probably be easily and quickly repaired by importing fillmaterials and regrading the displaced portion of the road. It is doubtful, though
possible, that a major settlement could cause flooding by surface or ground
water. Depending on the severity of the damage, it could be temporarily
repaired by importing fill and placing it in the flooded area to reestablish
continuity of the roadway.
Li uefaction Potential Assessment
Criteria developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (Youd et al., l 978) were used to
assess potential liquefaction areas in the San Fernando Valley, California. In
l979 the U.S. Geological Survey (Helley et al, l979) used techniques similar to,but more refined than, those used by Youd for the San Francisco Bay area. The
Seismic Safety Element for San Luis Obispo County (Envicom, 1974) has
delineated areas which have a potential to liquefy; however, their techniques for
classifying liquefied areas did not include the more recent techniques developed
by the U.S. Geological Survey. When boring logs and standard penetration tests
are available, more refined methods may be used to determine the liquefaction
potential, the most common one being the technique developed by Seed and ldriss
(l97 I) and Seed (1979).
B-8I-227 3-3
TERA CORPORATION
For this study, topographic soil and geologic maps, aerial photographs, and
ground water studies were used to delineate low-lying areas where youngersediments have been deposited and where ground water may be shallow (i.e., less
than l5 meters below the ground surface). A field reconnaissance was made toverify or characterize the relief, types of surficial sediments, and theirconsistency. No subsurface exploration was performed to determine the typesand consistencies of subsurface soils below a particular site. The subsurface
conditions were estimated using mapped and reported data and geologic projec-tion techniques. The criteria used in the study are similar to those used by theU.S. Geological Survey (Youd et al., l978, Helley et al., l979) and are presentedin Table 3- I.
In addition, boring logs at bridge locations were obtained from state and countytransportation departments to determine locally the subsurface conditions and
apply the procedure developed by Seed and Idriss (197I) and Seed (l979). Thiswas possible for about 50percent of the zones for which a potential forliquefaction exists.
This procedure is summarized below:
o Compute the maximum shear stress developed in the soil deposit
(Figure 3- I) during the earthquake:
'Yh~max = amax rd
9
where
v = unit weight of soil
h = depth of soil element
g = acceleration of gravity
amax = maximum ground surface acceleration
rd = stress reduction factor (Figure 3-2)
B-8 I-227 3-4

o Compute the average equivalent shear stress for 20 significant cyclesfor an earthquake of magnitude 7.5:
b'av = 0.65 rmax
o Compute the effective stress in the soil element (Figure 3-2):
~'v = Vh- Vw {h hw~
where
V = unit weight of water
h = depth to water tablew
o Compute the cyclic stress ratio of average equivalent shear stress to
effective stress
~av~v
o Compute the modified penetration resistance:
Nl = (I - l.25 logl0 o'v~ N
where
o'v is in ton/ft2
N = measured penetration resistance in blow/foot.
o From Figure 3-3, determine the liquefaction potential for an earth-
quake of magnitude 7.5. A line is drawn for a magnitude 7.5
earthquake separating the diagram into two regions. Any combina-
tion of penetration resistance and cyclic stress ratio which lies in the
region above that line represents circumstances where liquefaction
B-SI-227 3-5
TERA CORPORATlON
. has occurred in model tests and field cases. No liquefaction has been
observed for cases below that line. Also given at the top ofFigure 3-3 is a plot of potential shear strains which can accompany a
liquefaction event. This plot may help differentiate between a case
where ground failures are expected and a case where they are not.
Using the ground data provided by topographic and geologic maps and the sitespecific data at the bridges, the zones of potential liquefaction along thehighways and roads were localized and classified in term's of low or highsusceptibility. The low susceptibility areas include those underlain by young age(Holocene) alluvial materials that are estimated to contain appreciable amountsof sand and silt layers or lenses. Also, ground water is within 50 feet of theground surface. The high liquefaction susceptibility areas are included in thesame zones as the low susceptibility areas; however, these zones either lacklateral confinement, have gentle slopes, or are differentially loaded (artificialfills). In each case, accelerations are in excess of 0.2g. Maps and tablesdescribing these zones are presented in the Appendix.
Based on the assessment criteria, many areas along the evacuation routes havebeen categorized as potential liquefaction zones, capable of failing underexcessive seismic shaking. Since there is a reasonable amount of conservatismbuilt into the assessment criteria, not all areas considered will liquefy. Thenumber of actual liquefaction zones will decrease rapidly with distance from theepicenter, based principally on the attenuation of acceleration. Moreover, as
explained in the previous section, there is a difference between liquefaction, perse, and damage. In order to estimate the expected number of liquefaction zones
and the corresponding clearing times, the criteria presented in Table 3-2 weredeveloped for three damage levels. These criteria are based on topographic and
geologic conditions, soil profile characteristics (sand and silt layers, presence ofclay or gravel layers, depth to water level), level of earthquake shaking (PGA),liquefaction potential assessment using Seeds (l979) criterion, etc. Engineeringjudgment played an important role in this evaluation, especially in the areas
where subsurface conditions were not known. Each area of high liquefactionpotential was assigned a susceptibility level ranging from I to IV. Level I
B-81-227 3-6
TERA CORPORATION
corresponds to a low potential for damage to roads and highways (i.e., very small
deformation with little or no impairment to the road). Level IV would corres-
pond to large deformation, settlement, slope failure and/or lateral spreading. In
this case the road would be impassable in some sections and a significant repair
time would be necessary. Levels II and III are intermediate between these two.
The susceptibility level was decreased by one unit for the adjacent low potential
zone. For a potential liquefaction area located in a given acceleration zone, the
expected footage of failure was obtained by multiplying the total potential
footage by the percentage corresponding to the selected damage level.
A summary of expected footage failure and clearing time is presented for each
road surveyed in Section 3.2. In this table the clearing times for the l2 main
roads considered (roads I- l2) are for the clearing of two lanes of traffic. For all
other roads it was considered necessary in an emergency situation to initiallyclear only one lane for traffic. This will be reflected in the clearing time in this
table.
Section 3.3 presents a summary of liquefaction potential for each liquefaction
site. This table divides each site into areas of low potential and high potential
liquefaction and sums the total expected length of failure for both potentials.
The number of lanes expected to be affected is also given.

I-0 GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATINGTHEPROBABLE SEISMIC DAMAGETO HIGHWAYBRIDGES
IN THE SAN LUIS OBISPO AREA
I. I INTRODUCTION
For the purpose of this study, bridge damage will be classified into one of the
following three categories:
Category I: Little or no damage resulting in no delays to traffic.
Category 2: Moderate damage that can be repaired within four hours
provided sufficient labor and materials are available.
Category 3: Major damage that will necessitate closure of the bridge formore than four hours.
Bridges shall be classified according to their effect on the evacuation routeunder consideration. Therefore, for a route passing under the bridge, totalcollapse would be necessary to delay traffic.
Potential damage categories will be assigned to each of the following four bridgecomponents which are subject to damage during an earthquake.
r
I. Bearings
2. Columns and Piers
3., Abutments
4.. Foundations
Possible interactions between the failure of these components should be con-sidered. The failure of any one component will be assessed with respect to itseffect on the performance of the entire structure.
B-8l-227
TERA CORPORATION
Seismic vulnerability of the bridge structures will be evaluated according to
these guidelines, which are based on observations of damage in past earthquakes
and engineering judgment with respect to the performance of critical bridge
components in future earthquakes. The following paragraphs describe methods
for evaluating the seismic vulnerability of each of the four components listed
above.
l.2 BEARINGS
Bearings shall be considered to include longitudinal and transverse restrainers as
well as vertical load carrying components. Bearings shall be evaluated withrespect to their ability to continue to support the vertical load when subjected tothe forces and displacements generated by an earthquake. The step-by-stepprocedure detailed below should be followed in evaluating the seismic vulner-ability of bridge bearings.
Screen non-vulnerable bridges (these should be classified in
damage category I).
A. No bearings - continuous structure with end diaphragm
abutments
B. Continuous multi-span or single-span structures withskew $20o not supported on rocker bearings
C. Continuous multi-span or single-span structure withskew )20o not supported on rocker bearings and having a
length-to-width ratio greater than I.5.
Note: Structures qualifying in B and C must have an allowable transversemovement greater than (A/.4)N where A is the maximum expectedground acceleration (in g) and N is the required support lengthdefined in the Applied Technology Council's "Guidelines for theSeismic Design of Highway Bridges" (Report ATC-6, I 98 I) anddiscussed below.
B-8I-227 I-2
TERA CORPORATION
2. Calculate in inches the ATC-6 required support length
N = l2+.03L+.I2H
where
N = Required support length in inches
L = Length of bridge deck to adjacent joint or end of bridge in
feet
H = (Abutments) The average height (in feet) of columns
supporting the bridge deck to the next expansion joint.(H = 0 for single span bridges)
(Piers) The height of the pier (in feet)
(Midspan Joint) The average height (in feet) of adjacent
two columns.
3. Measure the allowable transverse movement at the support. Allow-able movement will be the limit at which all girders of a multigirderbridge will lose support. The displacement required to move one
girder off the edge of the seat will be considered allowable for a 2 or
3 girder bridge.
4. Assume keeper plates and anchor bolts will fail in shear at a peak
ground acceleration of .20 g. If skew is greater than 40 then rockerbearings will probably topple. The upper bound transverse movement,
which may be assumed equal to (A/.4)N, must be compared to theallowable transverse movement measured in Step 3.
If bearings topple, the minimum distance to the edge. of the bearingseat from any corner of the bearing must exceed. the bearing heightto prevent total collapse.
B-8 I-227 1-3
'ERA CORPORATION
For pedestal seats, the transverse distance from the edge of the
bearing to the edge of the seat must exceed the sum of the height
and the width of the bearing. In addition, the longitudinal distance
from the face of the bearing to the edge of the seat must exceed
D= putana +W h
cos a
where
W = the width of the bearing
h = the height of the bearing
a = skew angle
5. Nominally reinforced concrete shear keys are assumed to fail in shear
at a peak ground acceleration'f .30 g. Check transverse motion
after failure as in Step 4.
6. Rocker bearings in nonskewed structures are assumed to topple at
.30g. Assume span collapse will not occur if structure otherwise
qualifies under IB and IC above or if support length exceeds (A/.4)N.
7. Loss of support at abutments or midspan joints has a slight chance of
occurring in bridges with one or more midspan joints if (A/.4)N
exceeds the support length. If the structure has non-skewed
(skew $20 ) joints and the support length is greater than twice the
sum of the nominal joint openings plus ten inches times the peak
ground acceleration in "g's" times the number of joints in the bridge
deck, then no loss of support is assumed.
8. Classify failures as follows:
B-81-227
A. Little or no vertical movement (Category I)
l-4-0
TERA CORPORATION
B. Vertical movement equal to bearing height (Category 2). Ifstructural collapse will not result from support loss at an inspanbearing, then shoring may be possible and Category 2 damagemay be assumed.
C. Loss of girder support resulting in collapse (Category 3).
Note: If structure crosses an evacuation route, only Category 3 needs to beconsidered.
I.3 PIERS AND COLUMNS
Columns shall be evaluated for failure due to shear and pull-out of longitudinalreinforcement. Column vulnerability to shear failure will be determined based
on an empirical relationship observed during the San Fernando earthquake (see
Section 3.2). The following steps will be followed in evaluating the vulnerabilityof bridge columns.
I. Relate the possible categories of damage to the expected ground
accelerations.
A. A (.20g (Category I)
B..20g QA(.30g (Category I or 2)
C. A $ .30g (Category I, 2 or 3)
2. Eliminate piers from consideration (H/W 2.5) for ground accelera-
tions below .40 g.
3. When bearing keeper plates transfer load to columns, damage Cate-
gory I may be assumed.
4. Calculate the empirical factor for column vulnerability to shear
failure.

will result in damage Category 3. All others will be damage Cate-

TERA CORPORATION
l.4 ABUTMENTS
Abutment damage in past earthquakes is primarily related to displacements
resulting from seismic earth pressures or high lateral inertia forces transferred
from the superstructure. Settlement of abutment fill is fairly common and can
result in bridge access problems. The following steps should be followed in
evaluating potential abutment damage.
I. If A C.20 g the damage category will be I.
2. If the structure is an overcrossing, assume damage Category I.
3. The upper limit for fill settlement in well-engineered fills will be
assumed to be IO percent of the fill height for accelerations greater
than .30 g. For accelerations between .20 and .30 g, the maximum
settlement can be assumed 5 percent. If the fill is well-retained by
wingwalls extending below original ground or if roadway exceeds 2
lanes in width, these values may be multiplied by one-half. If the
structure does not cross water, multiply results by a separate factorequal to one-half.
4. Massive abutments in excess of IO feet high and relying on gravity
for stability shall be assumed to result in Category 2 damage during
an earthquake with ground acceleration greater than .20 g.
5. Free-standing seat abutments in excess of I4 feet high shall be
assumed to result in Category 2 damage when A) .30 g.
6. Diaphragm abutments without continuous wingwalls and founded in
fillshall be assumed to suffer Category 2 damage when A) .30 g.
7. Free-standing abutments with skews greater than 40 shall suffer
Category 2 damage at A) .30 g.
B-SI-227 I-8
TERA CORPORATION
I.5 FOUNDATION
Foundation failures resulting from liquefaction have been the most common typeof bridge failure in past earthquakes. Liquefaction occurs when loose cohesion-
less material consolidates during an earthquake resulting in the buildup of porewater pressure. This causes a temporary loss of soil shear strength due toreduced granular contact pressures. The resulting foundation failures can be
dramatic.
In the case of bridges, this usually occurs at stream crossings where the soil is
loose and ground water is present. The classic mode of failure involves themovement of abutment embankments toward the center of the stream. This can
occur at acceleration coefficients as low as;l5 g provided the duration of theground motion is long enough. This can result in serious settlements at theabutments and the buckling or dislodging of the superstructure from its supports.Continuous superstructures have historically performed better than discontinuoussuperstructures under these circumstances.
The following steps shall be followed when evaluating the upper bound of damage
resulting from foundation failure:
I. Establish the extent of potential liquefaction (very severe, severe,
moderate, or small), following the procedures outlined in the sectionon liquefaction.
2. For a site with very severe liquefaction potential, all bridges shall be
assigned to damage Category 3, except for single span bridges withskew less than 20o or rigid box culverts with floors which may be
classified as damage Category 2.
B-8I-227 I-9
TERA CORPORATION
3. For a site with severe liquefaction potential, all bridges shall be
assumed in damage Category 3, except that damage Category 2 may
be assumed for single span bridges with skew less than 40o, rigid box
culverts with floors, and continuous multi-span bridges with skew less
than 20o provided one of the following is true:
A. Reinforced concrete columns continuous with the superstruc-ture have a CVF greater than !.5 and a height in excess of 25feet.
B. Steel columns are constructed of mild steel and are in excess of25 feet high.
C. Columns are discontinuous with the superstructure, and shiftingof the superstructure will not result in instability.
4. For sites with moderate liquefaction potential, damage Category 2
will be assumed, except for bridges which have been classified in
damage Category 2 for bearing failure, in which case damage
Category 3 shal I be assigned.
5. Damage Category I shall be assumed for the foundations if the
liquefaction potential is small.

2.0 TESTING OF BRIDGE EVALUATIONGUIDELINES
The guidelines for evaluating the probable seismic damage to highway bridgeswere applied to several bridges which have experienced various levels of failureduring past earthquakes. As can be seen from the following paragraphs, theguidelines generally yield reliable results.
The damage levels indicated by the evaluation guidelines were in very closeconformance with the observed bridge damage in the Imperial Valley, Californiaearthquake of October I 5, I 979. The following bridges were investigated:
I. Bridge across New River (Br. 58-05 R/L)

Minor abutment fillsettlements (2")Shifting at abutment (9.4")
~AI ~
Damage Category 2Moderate abutment fillsettlements (6")Shifting at abutment (7.5") - Minor column spalling
Reconciliation:
Movement at abutment indicated moderate liquefaction mayhave occurred. Peak ground accelerations may have beenhigher during aftershocks. These factors could account for thehigher damage category.
2. Bridge across Alamo River (Br. 58-292)

~AID
Damage Category I
Failure of keeper plates at bearingsSlight transverse shifting of superstructureFill settlements not reported
Reconciliation:
Transverse shifting limited by keeper bars and short duration ofshaking. Duration also responsible for low abutment fillsettle-ments.
The guidelines were also applied to the Fields Landing Overhead (Br. 4-I2I) thatfailed during the Trinidad-Eureka Earthquake of November 8, l980. For an
estimated peak ground acceleration of . I 2g the required support length is
calculated to be slightly over 6 inches. Since only 6 inches was provided, the
collapse of the structure was accurately predicted. Since many of the spans did
B-8 I-227 2-3
TERA CORPORATION
not collapse, the required support length must have been very close to the actual
movement.
The guidelines also predicted Category 2 damage due to fill settlement at the
Greenville Rd. Undercrossing during the Greenville, California earthquake ofD
January 24, l980. A settlement of 0.6 feet was predicted, and settlements
between 0.0 and I.O feet actually occurred.
An earthquake of very short duration occurred near Coyote Lake, California on
August 6, I 979. Bridge damage was investigated for several bridges.
I. Pajaro River Bridge (Br. 43-0 I)
Predicted Dama e:
Damage Category I
Minor fillsettlements (3")Shifting at abutments (IO")
~A* I D
Damage Category I
Shifting at abutments (5")No settlements reported at abutmentsMinor column spal ling
Reconciliation:
Short duration of motion caused small fillsettlements.
As was the case in the other bridges investigated for this earthquake, Category I
damage was predicted.
The investigation and analysis of the Feburary 9, l97I San Fernando Earthquake
is discussed in Section 3.2 under the development of the column vulnerabilityfactor.
The bridge seismic data forms for most of the bridges investigated are included
in Section 4.5 of this appendix.

3. I INTRODUCTION
It is desirable to have a simple method for predicting the behavior of bridge
columns during an earthquake. It has been reasonably well established by
experience and research that transverse reinforcement in the zones of yielding
plays an important role in the successful performance of reinforced concrete
columns. Transverse reinforcement serves to confine the main longitudinal
reinforcement and the concrete within t6e core of the column, thus preventingthe buckling of the main reinforcement and the severe loss of shear strength in
the concrete. Transverse reinforcement is also effective as shear reinforcementand increases the shear capacity of the column.
Modern bridge design standards such as the AASHTO specifications and theATC-6 Guidelines require minimum transveise confinement reinforcement and
sufficient shear reinforcement to resist forces developed by the formation ofplastic hinges. Careful attention is also given to the reinforcement details toinsure that transverse reinforcement remains effective during the cyclic loadingcharacteristic of large earthquakes.
Unfortunately, prior to l97l the transverse reinforcement placed in most bridgecolumns was totally inadequate by today's standards. For example, a typicalCalifornia Department of Transportation detail consisted of hoops of 6-inch bars
spaced at l2 inches on center. Hoops usually were lap spliced and often therewere no cross ties to support rectangular hoops at intermediate points. Thecolumn damage suffered during the San Fernando Earthquake demonstrated theinadequacy of this detail. Most bridges in service today have column transversereinforcement details that are just as inadequate for seismic loading.
Therefore, in evaluating the seismic vulnerability of existing structure, a fastand effective way of screening the most critical of these columns is needed.
B-SI-227 3-I
TERA CORPORATION
3.2 DEVELOPMENT OF COLUMN VULNERABILITYFACTOR
Although most bridge columns within the area of heavy damage in the San
Fernando earthquake had inadequate transverse reinforcement details, there was
a vast difference in the way they performed during the earthquake as noted by
Fung, et al . Of the heavily damaged columns it appeared that shear was theI
primary mode of failure whether it was due to inadequacy of the initial shear
capacity, or the degradation of shear capacity resulting from confinement
fai lure.
Since shear has been observed as the critical column failure mode it is proposed
that a simple parameter be developed which would reflect the ratio of relativeshear capacity to relative expected shear force during an earthquake. This
parameter should be derived from data that can be obtained easily and rapidly
from a set of "as-built" bridge plans. The significance of this parameter as an
indicator of column vulnerability should be evaluated by comparing it to column
damage observed in past earthquakes. If critical values of the parameter can be
identified, then the parameter could be used as an indicator of column
vulnerability for identification of critical bridge columns.
Consider a bridge column which is rectangular in cross-section. The shear
capacity has classically been considered a function of the cross-sectional area ofthe column and the amount of shear reinforcement crossing a plane of potential
diagonal tension failure. For columns with constant transverse reinforcement
details, the relative shear capacity is approximately linearly related to the
cross-sectional area of the column. Therefore,
VR ——k lbh
where VR = The relative shear capacity of the column

The depth of the column in the direction of shear

B-SI-227 3-2

The maximum expected shear force resulting from an earthquake in which
flexural yielding takes place is given by
MT™BVc=
L
where VcMT,M
The maximum shear force resulting from the earthquake
The ultimate bending moments at the top and the bottomof the column respectively
L = The effective length of the column.
The sum of the ultimate moments at the top and the bottom of the column willdepend on the column dimensions, the amount of longitudinal reinforcing steel,and the ultimate stresses in the material. For simplicity assume that the column
cross-section is constant over its length and therefore the top andbottom'oments
are equal. The ultimate moment of a conventional beam without axial
load is roughly given by
u ss P ss
where A = The area of the tension reinforcements
f = The ultimate steel stresss
d = The distance from the tension reinforcement to the extremefiber in compression
h = The total depth of the concrete section
B-SI-227 3-3
TERA CORPORATION
a and k2 Constants associated with the size of the concrete compression
block and, in the case of k2, the relative dimensions of theconcrete cover.
For a column the main steel is usually uniformly distributed about the perimeterof the column cross-section. Therefore, the area of the tension reinforcement is
approximately equal to a constant proportion of the total main reinforcement.
A = k3pbh
where p = The ratio of longitudinal reinforcement area to gross
concrete area
k3 — An arbitrary constant
Most bridge columns will have axial loads approximately equal to IO percent ofthe ultimate axial load. If the ultimate moment at this axial load is assumed tobe a constant proportion to the ultimate moment at zero axial load, and the steelstress, f, and constants k2 and k3 are assumed approximately constant for mosttypical columns, the ultimate moment at the top and bottom of the column is
given by:
MT MB —kgpbh2
where k< — an arbitrary constant.
In many columns, the ultimate moment can only be produced at one end. Toaccount for this it would be useful to consider a framing factor, F. This framingfactor would be multiplied by the ultimate moment to give an approximation of
B-8 I -227 3-0
TERA CORPORATION
the sum of the moments at the top and the bottom of the column. Therefore,the maximum earthquake shear force would be given by:
FMT k4 F pbh
where F = 2.0 For multi-column bents - both ends fixed
F = I.O . For multi-column bent' one end fixed
F = I.O For single column bents - one end fixed
F = l.5 For single column bents - both ends fixed - torsionallyrigid superstructure
F = I.25 For single column bents — both ends fixed - torsionallyflexible superstructure
Therefore, a parameter which reflects the relative likelihood of a shear failure,and thus the column vulnerability, may be given by the ratio of relative shearcapacity to the expected maximum earthquake shear force. Therefore, thecolumn vulnerability factor CVF, is given by
V~ klbh klCVF = —= 2
VC k4FPbh k4 FPh
L
by setting I = I, the column vulnerability factor becomes:k
k4
CVF =—LF~d
B-SI-227 3-5
TERA CORPORATION
To test the validity of this factor as an indicator of potential column damage itwas compared with the column damage observed in the San Fernando earthquake
of l97I. In doing this, column damage was classified as follows:
0 = no damage observed
I = minor damage (spalling) - does not weaken structure
2 = moderate damage which weakens structure but not to the extentthat normal light traffic should be restricted
3 = major damage necessitating closure to traffic but no structurecollapse - damage may be irreparable
4 = total damage —column disintegration and structure collapse.
Using these damage classifications and data from the field investigation ofbridges in the San Fernando Earthquake, several bridges were considered in an
attempt to evaluate the column vulnerability factor concept. The following is a

reinforcement ratios. This will probably only be the case for columns withapproximately equal ductility demands. For columns designed for similar forcelevels in regions where seismic loading governs the column design, this is
probably approximately true. Secondly, it should be noted that all the bridgesinvestigated were in the short to medium period range. It is expected that thelonger the period of the structure the less important the CVF as an indicator ofindividual column damage since both the maximum and cumulative ductilitydemands will be less. In general, the primary mode of column failure in long
period structures would tend to be flexural.
A flexural failure can be critical if the supports are single column bents.Another critical failure can result from the pullout of main longitudinal re-inforcement as was the case in the Route 2IO/5 Separation and O.H. during theSan Fernando Earthquake. This structure had CVFs that average approximatelyI.89 which are well above the range corresponding to serious column damage due
to shear failure in the short to medium period structures.
Certain factors besides the CVF appear to affect the performance of short tomedium period bridge structures although CVF seems to be the most important.For example, a highly skewed structure will tend to respond in a torsional modewhich introduces additional torsional shear stresses in the columns which mayaccelerate a column shear failure. This could have been the case in bridges 3
and 4 above. The flexibility of the foundation can be important since it canreduce the effective fixity at the footing. This may have been important in
bridge 5 mentioned above with a CVF which would seem to indicate moredamage than actually occurred. Variation in the foundation flexibility at theabutments may also be important. This was probably important in bridges I and
3, where one abutment was in filland the other in cut. This may have caused thedamage to be more severe than it ordinarily would have been. A transverselyrigid and continuous superstructure on continuous diaphragm abutments willcarry excess load and tend to mitigate the seriousness of column failures.Although no examples were studied, it is assumed that architectural flares willincrease the sum of the moments and thus result in a greater maximumearthquake shear force.

Obviously, the intensity and duration of the earthquake ground motion will effectthe performance of the column. The greater resulting maximum and cumulative
ductility demands will cause a more rapid degradation of column strength. The
estimated peak acceleration of each of the bridges studied above was near .40g
or greater. A lower peak acceleration but longer duration of ground motion.could have similar effects.

4.0 DETAILEDDATAON BRIDGES SURVEYED
This section contains summary and detailed information concerning the investi-
gation and analysis of bridges and bridge response presented in this report.
Section 4.l is a brief summary description of the bridges surveyed in the study
area. They are described by route in a general south to north direction. Section
4.2 consists of pictures of those bridges presented in the same order. There are
some bridges pictured in this section but not described in the previous table. Allof these are not expected to sustain significant damage (Category I).
Section 4.3 presents detailed data sheets of the bridges, ordered as in Sec-
tion 4. I. Section 4.4 summarizes our evaluation of bridges for which no plans are
available. Section 4.5 contains detailed data sheets for the study of bridgeresponse in past earthquakes.

Average Highway Speed - a safe driving speed when there is little or no
traffic. It is indicative of the roadway geometries.
Possible Capacity - the maximum number of vehicles that the roadway can carryin an hour, under typical traffic mix (2-directional volume for 2-lane roads
and streets; 1-directional volume for freeways and expressways).
Directional Adjusted Capacity - the assumed maximum 1-directional trafficvolume under evacuation conditions. This volume assumes that the proportionof heavy trucks will be approximately one-half of the normal peak-hour truckproportion; and that 2-lane, 2-way roads and streets can carry 90 percentof the 2-directional possible capacity in the predominant evacuationdirection (i.e., that return traffic will be either absent or very light).
Optimum Speed (sopt) the operating speed of the traffic stream at peakcapacity (derived From Highway Capacity Manual), in miles per hour.
Optimum Density ( popt) the density of cars on the roadway moving in theevacuation directio~i at peak capacity (also derived from Highway CapacityManual), in cars per mile (note that the Popt number includes both lanesor routes where there a'e two lanes moving in one direction).
