A Summary of Common Structural Damages Over Sites Prone to Liquefaction

Recent studies within the realm of geotechnical engineering have further expanded on the effects, which liquefaction has to ground motion and soil mechanics. However, the investigation of building/infrastructure damages has not been explored to a deeper level of understanding. This paper explores the possible factors that can explain the damages a building or structure experiences due to liquefaction. In addition, current code requirements and common building practices is investigated and evaluated based on the findings.
