Description	The strong motion and long duration of the 921 Chi-Chi earthquake that occurred in 1999 in Taiwan caused severe soil liquefaction damage in Wufong, Taichung, central part of Taiwan. Locations with lateral spreading failure in Wufong during the earthquake were investigated, studied, and compared. The energy released by the Chelungpu fault caused the Chi-Chi earthquake, resulting in a rupture of the earth surface that extended for almost 100 km. The earthquake's intensity with long duration led to severe damages due to soil liquefaction in several counties and townships including Wufong, Nantou, Taichung Harbor, and Changhua all located at the central part of Taiwan. There are two major factors affecting lateral spreading, i.e. topography and the impact by earthquake. The borings drilled after the earthquake at selected locations and their corresponding grain size distributions revealed shallow soil liquefaction. Book Name: Landslides and Engineered Slopes.
