Aim: This is a joint workshop between LIQUEFACT (http://www.liquefact.eu/) and QuakeCoRE, and occurs in conjunction with the 2019 QuakeCoRE Annual Meeting (2-5 September 2019). The main goal of the workshop is to provide a forum to present on-going research activities on soil liquefaction in Europe and New Zealand, and to explore future research needs and translation of research into practice.
Moderators: Misko Cubrinovski (QuakeCoRE) and Alessandro Flora (Liquefact)
Date: 8:30am-4:30pm Monday 2nd September 2019
Location: Wairau Room, Rutherford Hotel, Nelson
