ABSTRACT
Over the last two decades, seismic soil liquefaction engineering has evolved into a field of its own right, as engineering assessment and mitigation of liquefaction hazard is increasingly well addressed in both research and practice. Assessment of liquefaction potential and consequent strength and strain response of soils are considered as the initial steps of engineering evaluation of seismic soil liquefaction, and these topics have naturally drawn significant research interest. Within in the confines of this manuscript, current state of practice on these issues will be reviewed, critically examined, and some recommendations will be listed for practitioners.
