    Abhinav Gupta
    This document provides an introduction and overview of liquefaction, including: - A brief history of liquefaction research beginning in the 1930s and increased attention after damaging earthquakes in Japan, Alaska, and Nigata in the 1960s. - An explanation that liquefaction occurs in saturated, loose sands and soils when exposed to rapid loading such as shaking during an earthquake, which reduces soil strength and causes particles to lose contact. - Identification of the types of failures that can result from liquefaction, including cyclic mobility, overturning, and sand boiling. - A note that remedial measures to address liquefaction include compaction, drainage, grouting, and using deep foundations.
