Abstract
A simple model describing the pore pressure generation in saturated sands and subsequent liquefaction is briefly outlined. Some applications of this model, dealing with an earthquake induced liquefaction of a soil stratum, propagation of a uni-axial liquefaction wave and liquefaction induced by surface waves are discussed.
