Abstract
The liquefaction potential of sand layers present in river bed alluvium underlying a major embankment dam was evaluated under design earthquake conditions. The results of the field and laboratory investigations and dynamic analysis carried out for this purpose are described in the paper. Recommendations made to ensure the post-earthquake safety of the embankment are presented.
