Abstract
By installing several sets of piezometers and a seismograph in a recently reclaimed sand deposit on Ohgishima Island near Tokyo, Japan, an attempt was made to monitor pore water pressures as well as horizontal accelerations during earthquakes. The limited data obtained thus far have indicated that virtually no pore water could build up in the loose sand deposit with a small scale shaking having a maximum horizontal acceleration of 45 gal on the ground surface.
