The seismicsettlements,as well as thebasicinput parameters which wereusedtoobtain
the analytical predictions are summarized inTable 11.1. Note that:
(a) Centrifuge tests are much better defined in terms of the input data parameters,
as opposed to the field case study where many input data were actually missing
and had to be indirectly evaluated. For that reason, the analytical predictions for
Dagupan City were performed parametrically, for the possible range of input data
retrieved from the literature, and the range of analytical predictions was compared
to that of the field observation, in the form of the
