Based on field reconnaissance carried out after the Great East Japan Earthquake, overview of liquefaction-induced damage to buildings is presented focusing on the city of Urayasu adjacent to Tokyo. Extensive soil liquefaction occurred in most areas reclaimed after 1968, with numerous sand boils and significant ground settlement up to 60 cm, broadly accompanied by settlement/ tilting of wooden buildings and reinforced-concrete structures supported on spread foundations.
