Abstract

Two important aspects of the liquefaction of level ground are discussed; the liquefaction potential of a site due to specified earthquake motions and the total probability of liquefaction at a site due to the entire seismic environment surrounding the site. Dynamic effective stress analysis is used to explore two important case histories of liquefaction due to specified ground motions. The probability of liquefaction is assessed by a method which estimates the joint probability of occurence of earthquake magnitude and acceleration amplitude sufficient to cause liquefaction.
