About this document
Liquefaction Damage from 2010 Chile Quake by Matías Moraga is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the liquefaction effects observed during the 2010 Mw 8.8 Chile earthquake, one of the largest ever recorded. Over 170 liquefaction sites were identified along a 1000 km stretch of land, approximately twice the length of the rupture zone. Prolonged ground shaking durations correlated with areas of major crustal deformation. The earthquake highlighted the seismic vulnerability of upstream-constructed tailings dams. It also demonstrated that stratified layers of loose and dense sands sh
