Abstract

The previous chapters analyzed in detail and summarized the mechanism of seismic liquefaction potential. It is well known that the hazard of sand soil liquefaction is very serious. Field soil liquefaction damages structures. Therefore, this chapter introduces various evaluation methods of seismic liquefaction performance in geotechnical problems. Considering the randomness of the seismic ground motions, the dynamic reliability method is also introduced. Finally, a case study of actual engineering is carried out based on a performance-based seismic design concept (Priestley 2000).
