<br />appropriate pseudo-static load coefficient as defined in rule <br />5.A.(6)(j)(V) of not less than 0.05. <br /> <br />5.A.(6)(j)(III) All Class I dams, and Large and <br />Intermediate size Class II dams, which have cohesionless materials in <br />the embankment or foundation, shall be evaluated for liquefaction <br />potential. If the evaluation indicates that the material in question <br />is liquefiable under the design earthquake loading, the problem shall <br />be remedied. <br /> <br />5.A.(6)(j)(IV) For all Class I dams, and Large and <br />Intermediate size Class II dams, pseudo-static analysis shall be <br />acceptable if all or the following conditions are satisfied: <br /> <br />I. The dam and foundation are not subject to liquefaction, <br />as determined in Rule 5.A.(6)(g)(IX)(C); <br /> <br />2, The dam is a well-built (densely compacted) dam and <br />predicted peak bedrock accelerations are 0.2g or less, or the dam is <br />constructed of clay soils on a clay or rock foundation and predicted <br />peak bedrock accelera- tions are 0.35g or less; <br /> <br />3. The static factors of safety of the critical failure <br />surfaces involving the dam crest (other than the infinite slope case) <br />are greater than 1.5, and <br /> <br />4. Freeboard is a minimum of three percent of the <br />embankment height, but not less than three feet. <br /> <br />5.A.(6)(j)(V) The minimum acceptable pseudo-static <br />stability analysis factor of safety is 1,0, and shall be attainable <br />using a pseudo-static load coefficient of one-half the predicted peak <br />bedrock acceleration (g's), but not less than 0.05. <br /> <br />5.A.(6)(j)(VI) For those Class I dams, and Large and <br />Intermediate Class II dams, for which a pseudo-static analysis is not <br />appropriate, as determined by Rule 5.A.(6)(j)(IV), a deformational <br />analysis shall be performed in a manner acceptable to the State <br />Engineer. The freeboard remaining due to deformation of the dam shall <br />not be less than three feet. . <br /> <br />5.A,(7) A design report which complies with these Rules <br />and shall include information to evaluate the design of the dam and <br />appurtenances including references and page numbers to support any <br />assumptions used in the design. The design report should contain <br />information to show that the following have been met: <br /> <br />- 22 - <br />
