This dataset contains 275 CPT-based liquefaction case histories from 21 globally distributed earthquakes. These data, or subsets of these data, have been analyzed in the literature and are provided here to replicate published results.These cases are sourced from existing studies, to include observations of manifestation severity, CPT soundings, and estimation of GWT depth and ground-motion IMs, as generally reported by original investigators. When available, recent refinements were adopted from the literature. The compiled, post-processed data is presented in a structure array (a single file), allowing researchers to easily access and analyze information pertinent to free-field liquefaction response (i.e., triggering and surface manifestation). Research opportunities using this data include, but are not limited to, the training or testing of new and existing liquefaction-prediction models. Information describing the contents and structure of the case-history data are provided in a ReadME document.
