Foreword
It was a privilege to organize the International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering from Case History to Practice in the honour of Prof. Kenji Ishihara in Istanbul, Turkey during 17–19 June 2013. A very prominent group of specialists in the field of earthquake geotechnical engineering delivered lectures of significant importance reflecting the recent developments in their field of interest during this conference. It was decided to compile most of these presentations in one book so that it may be available to specialists and those that are involved with research and application in the field of geotechnical engineering. The book is composed of 18 chapters. The first chapter by Kenji Ishihara and Toshiyuki Kamata is concerned with features of the 2011 earthquake in Japan, characterized by predominance of the ground failure due to liquefaction and scour of the ground caused by
