Abstract
Soil liquefaction during earthquakes can result in ground movements that cause damage to buildings and lifelines. Lateral spreading is one form of earthquake-induced ground movements that have caused extensive damage in previous earthquakes. The lateral displacement is dependent on many factors including the earthquake magnitude, thickness and particle size of the liquefiable subsoils, and the depth of the groundwater. A number of analytical and empirical methods have been proposed to predict the magnitude of the lateral displacement. One common empirical method which is called MLR model is based on multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis of a database of observed case histories. It is proposed in this chapter to use MARS to predict the liquefaction-induced lateral displacement.
