VA Medical Center Campus New Construction Geotechnical Investigation and Seismic Hazard Analysis
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to construct three new buildings and perform chiller system upgrades at the existing medical center campus in Long Beach, California. As part of the pre-design process, Geosyntec was selected to perform a geotechnical investigation and seismic study. The geotechnical investigation was performed to characterize the subsurface at the site, perform engineering analyses, and provide geotechnical engineering recommendations related to design and construction of the proposed facilities. The investigation included a seismic study performed to evaluate the seismic hazard at the site and develop site-specific ground motion parameters in accordance with the VA Seismic Design Requirements, H-18-8.
