Abstract
Liquefaction of sandy soils causes not only uniform settlement but also differential settlement of spread foundations. During the 2000 Tottoriken-seibu earthquake, differential settlements of many houses occurred at Abehikona housing development in Yonago City. According to measured inclination of the houses, there was a tendency that tow adjacent houses tilt towards the inside of the houses. The authors conducted several shaking table tests on model houses to demonstrate the direction of the inclination of adjacent two houses. Test results also showed that the two adjacent houses tilted towards the inside of the houses.
