The workshop aims to provide a fundamental understanding of the liquefaction process, necessary to the enhancement of liquefaction prediction. The contributions are divided into eight sections, which include: factors affecting liquefaction susceptibility and field studies of liquefaction.

Preface, 1: The mechanism of instability, 2: Effect of soil gradation on liquefaction, 3: Factors affecting liquefaction susceptibility, 4: Soil fabric and its effect on liquefaction, 5: Methods of characterizing liquefaction potential, 6: Methods of characterizing post-liquefaction deformation, 7: Centrifuge studies of liquefaction, 8: Field studies of liquefaction, List of participants, Index
