During the period 2001-2004 EU supported a research program on LIquefaction around Marine Structures (LIMAS) (http://www.skk.mek.dtu.dk/english/research/finished-proj/limas.aspx). The program was undertaken by a consortium of 10 European institutions (universities, hydraulics and geotechnical engineering laboratories and consulting companies). In this paper, this research program is described, highlighting the objectives of more than ten sub-projects under the program, focusing on different aspects of the topic. The major part of the program concerned the wave-induced liquefaction although the seismic-induced liquefaction was also studied with regard to its impact on marine structures.
