Abstract
The January, 2001 Earthquake in El Salvador caused widespread damage to buildings and several kinds of civil engineering structures due to ground shaking and earthquake-induced ground failures. In addition to several largescale landslides in the mountainous areas, extensive soil liquefaction was also observed in the alluvial plain in the Pacific lowlands. This paper discusses the results of the post-earthquake damage investigation conducted in the area after the earthquake, with emphasis on the liquefaction-induced damage.
