where M is the magnitude of the earthquake. The equivalent uniform shear strain is used to<br />

compare the original modulus and damping ratio with values obtained from the curves of Figures<br />

8.11 and 8.12. The iterations continue until both the modulus and damping ratio used to compute<br />

strains are compatible with the user-defined curves (less than about 1% error), or until the<br />

specified number of iterations is reached. The acceleration time histories (Table 8.5) were input<br />

at the interface between the Sandy River mudstone and Troutdale gravels at elevation -80 m.<br />

8.5.2 Results of the Dynamic Soil Response Analysis<br />

For each acceleration time history, SHAKE91 was used to compute: (1) the acceleration<br />

response spectrum on rock to compare against the target spectra generated by the attenuation<br />

relationships, (2) the PGA at the top of each defined layer (34 total) to create a profile of PGA<br />

versus elevation, (3) equivalent uniform shear stresses for use in the liquefaction analyses, and<br />

(4) acceleration time histories for use in the Newmark analyses. Figures 8.13 to 8.16 show the<br />

results for each SHAKE91 analysis for the Long Valley Dam (Mammoth Lakes) time history.<br />
