Abstract
Major advances in liquefaction research in the laboratory to understand the basic mechanisms in comparison with in situ behavior during previous earthquakes are reviewed. Then, several issues related to liquefaction triggering and post-liquefaction deformation are selected for further discussion in the author's perspective. These include effects of fines associated with aging, effects of gravels, effects of initial shear stress, and lateral spreading and lateral flow due to void redistribution. It has been disclosed that a quite a few issues still remain to be settled in evaluating liquefaction onset and post-liquefaction deformations for improving engineering design, particularly for Performance-Based Design (PBD).
