Abstract

Paleoliquefaction back-analyses can be very accurate if earthquake source location & mechanism are known. Accurate analysis is more difficult if source location is unknown, but index Ef enables more intelligent estimate of causative earthquake’s location and magnitude. Framework using site-specific geotechnical analysis shown to be effective and proposed for use in paleoliquefaction studies worldwide.
