Abstract
A conventional method for compiling liquefaction hazard maps of large areas is proposed. A quantitative liquefaction hazard for a geomorphological land classification map in terms of the occurrence is built up byusing the Digital National Land Information and the location data of liquefaction in the historical earthquakes presented by Wakamatsu.
Predictions for the 1987 Chibaken Toho-Oki and the 1891 Nobi earthquakes are conducted based on the results of the analysis for several major earthquakes in Kanto and Tokai districts in Japan, and shows the good agreement with observations of liquefaction in the earthquakes.
