One of the major consequences of earthquakes is the phenomenon of ‘liquefaction’. The concept of liquefaction gathered worldwide attention in the 1960s, when in 1964 large magnitude earthquakes located near Anchorage, Alaska and Niigata, Japan caused massive structural damage through ground failure. Significant amount of work on this topic has been performed in the last few decades since these earthquakes, resulting in several state-of-the-art papers relating to the study, evaluation and remediation of liquefaction (Martin et al., 1975; Seed, 1979; Ishihara, 1993; Seed et al., 2001; Youd et al., 2001; Idriss & Boulanger, 2005; Sawicki & Mierczynski, 2006; Madabhushi, 2007).
