Abstract:

Earthquakes cannot be totally predicted. Mitigation is the best way to cope with the impending threats. One of these measures is the establishment of liquefaction susceptibility of soil. Usually, in the account of previous events, this is only done as post-study analysis for earthquake occurrences. However, this can also be used as a preventive measure or at least mitigate the hazards of earthquakes.
