Abstract
A damage of embankment due to liquefaction represents its settlement on the liquefied ground. From the point of view of the safety railway service, it is important for selecting a countermeasure against liquefaction to evaluate the ground deformation during and after liquefaction. To have a better insight into the function of a rational countermeasure against liquefaction, a series of shaking table tests was performed. The research reported here focuses specifically on the evaluation of relationships between the settlement of embankment and the degree of liquefaction.
