RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRUCTURES OF SANDY GROUNDS AND LIQUEFACTION-INDUCED DAMAGE TO VARIOUS OBJECTS
To confirm the structures of sandy grounds on which various objects are liable to be damaged by earthquakes and the damage mechanism, numerous investigations of damage to embankments, buildings, bridges, slopes, quays, power substations and so on have been done. In this paper, a liquefaction-induced damage mechanism is studied comparing the deformation of objects and grounds with structures of grounds. It is presumed that most of the damage was caused by large differential displacements due to uneven thickness of soft clayey layers within grounds or by sliding displacements occurring in thin soft clayey ones.
