Abstract

Siting of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities requires seismological investigations to identify the closest capable faults, to estimate the capability of faults in the vicinity of proposed sites to generate earthquakes, and to provide engineers with appropriate ground-motion parameters for design and construction. The investigation of the proposed Little Cojo Bay LNG Terminal Site, near Point Conception, California, for which a peak acceleration of about 0.65 g appears reasonable, is presented as an example.--Modified journal abstract.
