Soil liquefaction is a major concern in areas of the world subject to seismic activity or other repeated vibration loads. This book brings together a large body of information on the topic, and presents it within a unified and simple framework. The result is a book which will provide the practising civil engineer with a very sound understanding of soil liquefaction.

The book is a good resource for graduate students with a research interest in liquefaction, for geotechnical engineers interested in a deeper understanding of the advocated approach, and ofr its synthesis may well be used as part of a graduate seminar course or by a researcher looking to quickly familiarize him or herself with a significant portion of the research on liquefaction. -- Robert Viesca, Harvard University, Pure and Applied Geophysics
