摘要：The study of liquefaction potential of a place is of utmost importance regarding the safety o f both life and property. Liquefaction of soil followed by earthquakes has always been a source of danger for the people living in the highly vulnerable seismic zones of the world. Guwahati which is attributed under Zone V, the highest seismic zone level as per Indian Standard code of practice (IS 1893) is highly vulnerab le to earthquakes, therein lies the hidden danger of liquefaction just after an earthquake. In this paper the various liquefaction potential studies of Guwahati city, which has been carried out is reviewed considering the significant role liquefactio n has played in the past earthquakes and rising danger with increase in population. Besides this, the difference in their conclusions is shown and necessary approaches still required were discussed.
