Datasets for gravelly soil liquefaction case histories.

ABSTRACT: This data article provides summarized information on the liquefaction case histories of gravelly soil from 17 earthquakes. 234 historical cases based on the shear wave velocity test and dynamic penetration test are carefully compiled and corrected according to the data processing procedures recommended in the related research article [1]. All necessary information that helps develop the corresponding deterministic or probabilistic prediction models for gravelly soil liquefaction, including earthquake name and time, site name and its location, moment magnitude (M_w), peak ground acceleration, epicentral distance, bracketed duration, fines content, gravel content, average particle size, normalized dynamic penetration test blow count or normalized shear wave velocity, groundwater table, depth of gravelly soil deposit, total and effective overburden stress, the thickness of the impermeable capping layer, the thickness of the unsaturated zone between the groundwater table and capping layer, cyclic stress ratio for M_w = 7.5, and liquefaction information, are given for the datasets.
