PROCEEDINGS FROM THE FIFTH U.S.-JAPAN WORKSHOP ON EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN OF LIFELINE FACILITIES AND COUNTERMEASURES AGAINST SOIL LIQUEFACTION, SNOWBIRD, UTAH, SEPTEMBER 29 - OCTOBER 1, 1994

The Fifth U.S.-Japan Workshop was not only an international event, but a forum for engineers and utility personnel in the Salt Lake City area to learn about state-of-the-art developments and to participate in the presentations and discussions as experienced members of a community which must implement seismic resistant design of lifeline facilities and countermeasures for soil liquefaction. This volume contains the workshop proceedings, organized according to the following topics: (I) Observations During Past Earthquakes; (II) Mechanisms of Liquefaction and Large Ground Deformation; (III) Liquefaction and Dynamic Response of Underground Structures; (IV) Mitigation of Earthquake and Liquefaction Effects; (V) Lifeline Performance and Liquefaction During Earthquakes; (VI) Working Group Sessions (Summary Reports); and (VII) Workshop Participants.
