Return Period of Soil Liquefaction [PDF]
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2007 The paper describes a performance-based approach to the evaluation of liquefaction potential, and shows how it can be used to account for the entire range of potential ground shaking. The result is a direct estimate of the return period of liquefaction, rather than a factor of safety or probability of liquefaction conditional upon ground shaking with ...
