Abstract
The paper gives an overview of performance-based approach for designing geotechnical structures against earthquakes, including remediation of liquefiable soils. Case histories of implementation and performance of remediation measures during past earthquakes are reviewed. The paper discusses the applicability and limitations of the conventional simplified approach for designing remediation of liquefiable soils and how these limitations can be overcome in the performance-based approach that explicitly considers residual displacements and structural strains beyond elastic limit. The paper also presents recent developments in performance evaluation against extremely long duration earthquake motions such as those during the 2011 East Japan earthquake (M = 9.0).
