SOIL LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT USING NONLINEAR SITE RESPONSE ANALYSIS

soil liquefaction is a major cause of damage during earthquakes. Over the past years major advances have occurred in evaluation of soil liquefaction potential. This rapid evolution in assessment of liquefaction potential has led to a various methods for evaluation of this phenomenon. although the rate of progress has been laudable further advances are occurring and more remains to be done.
