Abstract

The susceptibility to liquefaction of soils generated by large-scale earthquakes was evaluated in the area corresponding to the Cauto basin in the province of Granma. For this, the logical historical method and the analysis and synthesis method were used. A summary was made of the main characteristics of earthquakes where liquefaction and soil conditions have occurred. The areas of the province of Granma prone to liquefying before a large earthquake are determined.
