Educational Resources The Soil Liquefaction Web Site, is developed by Jorgen Johansson under the supervision of Professor Steven L. Kramer of the University of Washington. It contains up-to-date information on soil liquefaction and uses the videos and photos. I think it is the best site regarding that matter. "The (Dr. C.H.) Juang's Website on Soil Liquefaction in the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan Earthquake" , available from Dr. Juang's website complete with list of publications and photographs.   Free Books and Papers Moss R.
