Liquefaction potential index calculations at cone penetration test sites in California

This data release provides tabulated liquefaction potential index (LPI) values calculated for a standard set of magnitudes (M), peak ground accelerations (PGA), and groundwater depths (GWD), as described in detail in Engler and others (2025). We use these data to rapidly interpolate LPI values for any M-PGA-GWD combination. The LPI results are computed at cone penetration test (CPT) sites in the San Francisco Bay Area (Holzer and others, 2010). Additionally, the CPT sites are classified using surface geology maps (Wentworth and others, 2023; Wills and others, 2015; Witter and others, 2006).
