Our goal is to develop novel methods to improve the quantification of impacts of soil liquefaction on infrastructure through a fundamental understanding of liquefaction susceptibility, triggering, and consequences; and use these methods to assess liquefaction impacts throughout NZ and their potential to be mitigated. These novel methods will represent a major advance in the field, and will be based on the unprecedented data and internationally recognised on-going research related to soil liquefaction and related infrastructure damage in the Canterbury earthquakes.
