Abstract
This study presents a new generalized liquefaction prediction and assessment method that takes account of the influence of the waveforms and durations of earthquakes. The new method facilitates universal applications to various types of liquefaction charts. The predicted results were compared and validated against case histories at Sendai Port, Onahama Port, Chiba Port, Haneda Airport and Urayasu City under the 2011 Off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake. The results show the validity and effectiveness of the new method for the level 2 earthquakes. This study also presents and discusses its applicability to sequenced earthquake motions.
