This book presents comprehensive hazard analysis methods for seismic
soil liquefaction, providing an update on soil liquefaction by
systematically reviewing the phenomenon's occurrence since the beginning
of this century. It also puts forward a range of advanced research
methods including in-situ tests, laboratory studies, physical model
tests, numerical simulation, and performance-based assessment. Recent
seismic liquefaction-related damage to soils and foundations demonstrate
the increasing need for the comprehensive hazard analysis of seismic
soil liquefaction in order to mitigate this damage and protect human
lives. As such the book addresses the comprehensive hazard analysis of
seismic soil liquefaction, including factors such as macroscopic
characteristics, evaluating the liquefaction potential, dynamic
characteristics and deformation processes, providing reliable evaluation
results for liquefaction potential and deformation in the context of
risk assessment.
