      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. 

      The seminar will be held March 10 in Pasadena, California; March 12 in St. Louis, Missouri; March 17, in San Francisco, California, and March 19 in Seattle, Washington. The seminar fee is $225 for regular EERI members, $325 for nonmembers, and $113 for student, young professional, and retired EERI members.
