The purpose of this study is to do liquefaction assessment in Mae Lao district area. Basic soil properties of subsoils are obtained from 15 boreholes. The liquefaction susceptibility analysis shows that the soils are susceptible to liquefaction. Furthermore, a prediction of severity of liquefaction was assessed based on the characteristic of Phayao fault. The level of severity of liquefaction is judged using the liquefaction potential index (LPI). The result shows that the level of severity and area affected by liquefaction increases with an increase in size of earthquake. In addition, a liquefaction probabilistic assessment is made considering fluctuation of ground water level and  potential  earthquakes from  all  active  faults  in  proximity  of  Mae  Lao  district.  The assessment indicates that shallow footings with size larger more than 1 m will be safe from liquefaction.  Finally,  maps  of  annual  probability  of  liquefaction  and  failure  of  shallow footing of Mae Lao district were produced.   0aGeologyxLiquefaction 0aEarthquakeszThailandzChiang Rai 0aEngineering geologyzThailandzChiang Rai1 aChao, Kuo Chieh,eChairperson0 aSuttisak Soralump,eCo-chairperson0 aNoppadol Phien-Wej,eExamination Committee1 aPham, Huy Giao,eExamination Committee2 aRoyal Thai Government Fellowship,eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
