Lateral spreading is one of the most important effects of liquefaction because it can cause significant ground deformation and damage to existing infrastructure. In 2010, [...]

Because earthquakes larger than Mw8.0 are relatively rare, empirical models for predicting lateral spread displacement have generally focused on earthquakes of lesser mag [...]

During the February 27, 2010 M w 8.8 Maule earthquake, soil liquefaction occurred at many sites; often leading to ground failure and lateral spreading. As a consequence, [...]

The 2014 Iquique earthquake struck off the coast of Chile on April 1st with a moment magnitude of 8.2, as a result of thrust slip at shallow depths. The earthquake’s ep [...]
