Liquefaction during earthquakes has been a significant cause of failure of onshore as well as offshore structures. The phenomenon of liquefaction has been studied extensibly for the case of cohesionless soils. Fine grained soils such as silts and sands with fines have generally been considered as non-liquefiable in the past. Recent studies have shown that fine grained soils in certain situations may be susceptible to liquefaction. This paper will present a brief review of the recent work on the liquefaction of fine grained soils and the results of an investigation conducted by the authors on liquefaction behavior of silty soils.
