10.4 Sea Level Rise

The effects of sea level rise during the design life of structures should be evaluated based on NRC 2012; CCSF 2014; CCSF 2016; Plane et al. 2019; Yasuhara, et al. 2007; and others. Effects considered should include, but are not limited to, the potential for increased flooding and the effect of rising groundwater on increasing hydrostatic pressure, increasing liquefaction potential, saltwater intrusion, and decreasing bearing capacity.
