| Abstract | This Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) award supports the evaluation of liquefaction effects within the context of seismic soil-system response through advanced field investigation and laboratory testing. Conventional liquefaction evaluation procedures overestimate the severity of ejecta at sites with stratified silty soil deposits and underestimate it at sites with thick, clean sand deposits, leading to overspending and economic losses, respectively. Nonlinear dynamic analyses suggest the i |
