COMPARISON OF A LIQUEFACTION THEORY WITH FIELD OBSERVATIONS
In this note, the authors compare some well known liquefaction results obtained by Seed and his co-workers at the University of California with extant field liquefaction data derived mainly from Japanese earthquakes. The comparison reveals Seed's results to be generally over-conservative for small earthquakes and possibly unconservative for very large earthquakes. (TRRL)
