Liquefaction is often described in the literature as the phenomena of seismic generation of excess porewater pressures and consequent softening of granular soils. Many regions in the United States have been witness to liquefaction and its consequences, not just those in the west that people associate with earthquake hazards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePast damage and destruction caused by liquefaction underline the importance of accurate assessments of where liquefaction is likely and of what the consequences of liquefaction may be. Such assessments are needed to protect life and safety and to mitigate economic, environmental, and societal impacts of liquefaction in a cost-effective manner. Assessment methods exist, but methods to assess the potential for liquefaction triggering are more mature than are those to predict liquefaction consequences, and the earthquake engineering community wrestles with the differences among the various assessment methods for both liquefaction triggering and consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eState of the Art and Practice in the Assessment of Earthquake-Induced Soil Liquefaction and Its Consequences\u003c\/i\u003e evaluates these various methods, focusing on those developed within the past 20 years, and recommends strategies to minimize uncertainties in the short term and to develop improved methods to assess liquefaction and its consequences in the long term. This report represents a first attempt within the geotechnical earthquake engineering community to consider, in such a manner, the various methods to assess liquefaction consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies of Sciences Engineeri,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Earth Sciences and Resources\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309440270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309440271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.03h x 8.60w x 0.68d","brand":"National Academies of Sciences Engineeri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447691489535,"sku":"9780309440271","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e97e69d-f082-4ddb-a5ca-bf0fd18053b3.jpg?v=1777234163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/state-of-the-art-and-national-academies-of-sciences-engineeri-9780309440271","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
