Liquefaction-potential map for a part of Utah County, Utah (PI-28)
By: J. L. Jarva The liquefaction-potential categories of Utah County are mapped based on local geology and subsurface soil and water conditions and depend on the probability of having an earthquake within a 100-year period that will be strong enough...

Geologic evaluation and hazard potential of liquefaction-induced landslides along the Wasatch Front, Utah (SS-104)
By: K. M. Harty and M. Lowe The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for future movement of the landslides during earthquakes to determine the hazard these features may pose. Goals of the study were to: (1)...

Landslide maps of Utah (M-246dm)
By: A. H. Elliot and K. M. Harty Significant economic losses are associated with landslides, and Utah has numerous landslides and landslide-prone geologic units. Exposure to landslide hazards increases as development expands onto hillsides and other landslide-prone areas. To improve...

Liquefaction Hazards in Utah (PI-100)
By: Mark MilliganEarthquake-triggered liquefaction can cause extensive damage and loss of life. While Utah has historically experienced liquefaction-producing earthquakes, it has thus far escaped significant damage. However, the densely populated Wasatch Front region has a 93% probability of one or...

Probabilistic liquefaction severity index maps of the State of Utah (OFR-159)
By: M. A. Mabey and T. L. Youd Liquefaction Severity Index maps for the state of Utah were generated using probabilistic analysis. The Liquefaction Severity Index (LSI) expresses the maximum magnitude of differential deformation which would be the result of...

Shallow ground water and related hazards in Utah (M-110)
By: S. Hecker and K. M. Harty, compilers Many population centers in the state are in areas susceptible to shallow ground-water problems. Rising water tables in recent years have caused flooding in basements, storage tanks, underground utilities, waste dumps, and...
