Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. Liquefaction can cause major damage during an earthquake.

The proposed procedure is applied to assess the soil liquefaction potential, which is found to be considerably affected by the inherent spatial variability of soil properties. Parametric studies, ...

Monte Carlo simulations of soil liquefaction are performed for a saturated soil deposit subjected to seismic excitation, and the predicted excess pore pressures are compared with similar results ...
