- Abstract
- This paper examines the state-of-the-art of liquefaction-induced ground displacement estimation with special attention to lifelines. The state-of-the-art for estimating permanent ground displacements is purely empirical. Several methods are examined, and they all appear to have comparable predictive abilities. The recommended method takes into account geological, geotechnical, topographical, and seismological parameters.
