Abstract
The response of soft soils to intense earthquakes is discussed. A decrease or increase of the surface response depends on the joint effect of nonlinear and resonance processes in soft soils. The behavior of soft soils during strong earthquakes is exemplified. The possibility to predict their response to strong impacts based on calculations by computer programs is considered.
