Tectonic deformation from the 2010 Maule (Chile) Mw 8.8 earthquakeincluded both uplift and subsidence along about 470 km of the central Chilean coast. In the south, deformation included as much as 3 m of uplift of the Arauco Peninsula, which produced emergent ...

In this paper a new methodology is proposed for the geotechnical analysis of strength of paleoseismic shaking using liquefaction effects.
