Preface
Liquefaction of saturated sands during earthquakes and associated ground deformations continue to be a major concern for engineers involved with design and evaluation of civil infrastructure, such as buildings, transportation facilities (e.g., bridges, roads, and ports), and water systems (e.g., dams, levees, pipelines, and aqueducts). Numerous constitutive models and numerical simulation platforms have been developed and are being used to pre
