A study made in 2008 study on the effect of Sea Level Rise in British Columbia (1) estimates Sea Level Rise in Vancouver will be ranging from 0.89 m to 1.03 m by the year 2100 (based on extreme high estimate of global sea level rise). As a result of expected Sea Level Rise, the Flood Construction Levels in Vancouver, which define the minimum elevation of the underside of a floor system or top of concrete slab of any building used for habitation, business or storage of goods,

Liquefaction is the process by which the soil sediments below the water table temporarily lose Its strength due to the application of earthquake-induced cyclic shear stresses, and behave as a viscous liquid rather than soil (1). Liquefaction phenomenon can lead to slope instability, lateral spreading of ground, settlement, increased lateral loads on retaining walls and piles, and loss of foundation support. Preliminary assessment on liquefaction susceptibility, i.e. the abili
