Countermeasures Against Liquefaction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Developments in Earthquake Geotechnics

Part of the book series: Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering ((GGEE,volume 43))

Abstract

Within the limited scope of the author’s experiences on countermeasures against liquefaction, lattice walls by in-situ cement-mixing, cut-off sheet pile walls and dewatering are picked up. Technical issues on the effectiveness of these countermeasures and their evaluation procedures are discussed based on results from relevant 1-g and centrifuge model tests, numerical analyses and triaxial tests.
