Termination Criteria (in Julian Case's e-mail)

· Minimum Su: 60kPa*
+Where there is Rayleigh Waves Mitigation
· Rayleigh Wave Velocity of 1.6xDS

* Minimum Su value is based on interpreted characteristic geotechnical parameters

presented in the Geotechnical Design Report. Depth provided in the combined mitigation
table are minimum required depth for excavate and replace, subject to termination criteria.
If soil with adequate undrained shear strength is encountered at shallower level, additional
analysis should be undertaken to determine the feasibility to reduce the depth extent of
excavate and replace.
