Abstract On March 11, 2011, a large earthquake of Mw 9.0 shook north-eastern Japan and caused severe liquefaction-induced damage over a wide area of reclaimed lands along the coast of Tokyo Bay. Although regional mapping of the liquefaction hazard had been performed in many automounts bodies in Japan, it seems that the maps were not effectively used ...
