style="COLOR: #3f3f3f; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The monograph
and seminar provide a synthesis — in one accessible resource for students,
practicing engineers, and other professionals — of progress in the study
of soil liquefaction since 1982. The following areas will be covered:
fundamentals of liquefaction behavior; methods for predicting the
triggering of liquefaction during earthquakes; methods for predicting the
consequences of liquefaction, such as slope instability or ground
deformations; mitigation of liquefaction hazards; and cyclic softening of
clays and plastic silts. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 135%"><SPAN

be held March 10 in Pasadena, California; <B>March 12 in St. Louis,
Missouri;</B> March 17, in San Francisco, California, and March 19 in
Seattle, Washington. The seminar fee is $225 for regular EERI members,
