Preface

Loose sandy deposits sometimes change into a liquid state during earth-

quakes. This is called liquefaction and poses a serious problem in waterfront

areas. When the sandy deposits liquefy, structures built on those deposits are

seriously affected; for example, heavy structures settle and light buried

structures heave . Reliable remediation with respect to liquefaction is neces-

sary in geotechnical engineering practice.

This book presents methodologies for assessment

of liquefaction potential

and remedial measures to mitigate liquefaction for reclaimed land. These

methodologies are based on continuous research and decade of experience in

design and construction

of port facilities in Japan, where liquefaction often

poses a serious problem in design and construction.
