This database includes liquefaction case histories of several major earthquakes occurred in China.
The name of each sub-database is in the format of A/B/C:
- A: Earthquake event (such as 1976 Tangshan Earthquake)
- B: Moment magnitude of event (such as Mw=7.6)
- C: Type of in-situ test (for example, SPT, CPT or Vs)
Please contact Prof. Yan-Guo Zhou via: qzking@zju.edu.cn if you want to contribute to this databases. Thank you very much!
