Liquefaction Mitigation Measures: A Historical Review

Towhata, Ikuo

Subsoil liquefaction caused by strong earthquakes is one of the big threats to urban environment. Engineering communities became concerned about this problem in 1960s and many mitigation measures have been developed since then. This paper reviews the historical development of this technology up to the present time and classifies them into several categories. Major trend nowadays is the emphasis on ground improvement under existing structures, which is still difficult or costly. More efforts are needed to develop a social framework by which liquefaction problem is mitigated at an acceptable cost.
