The February 27, 2010 Maule, Chile earthquake (Mw = 8.8) is the fifth largest earthquake to occur since 1900. Its effects were felt along 600 km of the central Chile coast. Initial field observations suggest that tectonic displacement of the hanging wall produced ...

<p>Based on the results of this study, a soil deposit is considered to be susceptible to liquefaction or cyclic mobility if the ratio of the water content to liquid limit is equal to or greater than 0.85 (wc/LL &gt; 0.85), and the soil plasticity index is ...

This paper will highlight a number of important recent and ongoing developments in soil liquefaction engineering, and will offer insights regarding research in progress, as well as suggestions regarding further advances needed.
