Proceedings of sessions of Geo-Denver 2000, held in Denver, Colorado, August 5-8, 2000. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains nine papers presenting new techniques for predicting the liquefaction behavior of saturated sands during earthquakes. New techniques meriting serious consideration include shear wave velocity techniques, electrical methods, and ground penetrating radar, all of which have potential for providing new, reliable information. This volume also examines nondestructive site characterization and property evaluation, constitutive modeling and numerical procedures, and applications. Topics include:
