AbstractThis Grant for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) award supports investigation of the liquefaction hazard of calcareous sands during earthquake shaking. Liquefaction of calcareous sands remains an ongoing challenge, not only in Hawaii where the 2006 Kiholo Bay earthquake caused liquefaction of both dredged and naturally-deposited calcareous soils at the Kawaihae Harbor, but also globally in equatorial regions. The seismic resiliency of infrastructure, including ports, maritime terminals and naval f
