Abstract

The Navy has $25 billion worth of facilities in seismically active regions. Each year $200 million of new facilities are added to those in seismically active areas. The Navy, because of its mission, must locate at the waterfront with a high watertable and often on marginal land. Seismically induced liquefication is a major threat to the Navy. Presently, procedures do not exist to analyze the effect of liquefaction on structures. Developing an effective stress soil model will provide a tool for such analysis of waterfront structures. To understand the significance of liquefaction, it is important to note the damage caused in recent earthquakes.
