ABSTRACT
In a collaborative and unprecedentent effort, seven major universities from United States and England studied the liquefaction phenomena and its consequences by conducting extensive centrifuge tests on nine carefully selected centrifuge models. In addition, more than 20 groups of researchers from all over the world participated in a Class-A prediction exercise to predict the response of centrifuge models before they were conducted. This paper summarizes the lessons learned from the VELACS project in relation to repeatability of centrifuge models and perfomance of the existing numerical procedures in analyzing soil liquefaction and its consequences.(AU)
