Abstract

An earthquake is the perceptible shaking of the Earth’s surface, which can be violent enough to toss people around and even destroy entire cities. Seismic liquefaction is one of the main causes of damage to buildings and infrastructure during an earthquake. Liquefaction can be defined as a loss of strength and stiffness of the soil. Therefore, comprehensive analyses of seismically induced liquefaction can provide a basis for disaster prevention and mitigation. This chapter gives a preliminary introduction to seismic hazards and related liquefaction damage worldwide. Then, multi-approaches for hazard analysis of seismic soil liquefaction are reviewed. Finally, the main content of the book is summarized.
