... 86 Seismic Site Response Analysis with Pore Water Pressure Generation: Guidelines modeler should evaluate (i) whether ESA is required or if TSA will suffice, and (ii)
From page 87...
... Guidelines 87   benefit from the example site exploration program for the WLA site that is presented in detail in Appendix B-1. This example program contains information on how to plan and perform site characterization for effective-stress SRA, plan and perform in-situ testing, recover intact samples, and interpret and present the results.

... 88 Seismic Site Response Analysis with Pore Water Pressure Generation: Guidelines Fitting of undrained stress–strain and excess PWP responses (e.g., results of CyDSS testing) is recommended for the critical layer (or occasionally for critical layers)
From page 89...
... Guidelines 89   methods, and principles employed to evaluate case histories may be used and applied in design projects. These include items presented and discussed in Sections 8.2.2 through 8.2.10 and items not discussed herein such as development of design basis, seismic hazard analysis, and development of design ground motions.

... 90 Seismic Site Response Analysis with Pore Water Pressure Generation: Guidelines 8.2.12 Peer Review and Final Reporting Peer review is an important part of engineering evaluation and the design process. Obtaining a qualified peer reviewer or a team of qualified peer reviewers is recommended for larger or complex projects.
