A fascinating presentation by George Gazetas. Two points I would like to express. First, the one-basement buildings survived the liquefaction very well despite of the no-basement mat foundation buildings that suffered extreme tilting after Adapazarı earthquake. The second point is the tilting (or toppling) of the buildings after Niigata earthquake. Especially the second example needs to be explained by prof Gazetas' new approach.
