Abstract
Case histories of widespread liquefaction and lateral spread induced by the Mw 8.0, 2007 Pisco, Peru earthquake and observed during a post-earthquake GEER reconnaissance are presented. A long duration of the earthquake over 200 seconds and two phases of strong ground motion induced widespread liquefaction and lateral spread of sand coastal deposits and road embankments over a total length of approximately 100 km of coastal region. Six case histories of liquefaction are presented and discussed including a massive lateral spread of a marine terrace believed to be as large or even larger than that reported along the Shinano River during the 1964 Niigata earthquake in Japan.
