• An earthquake of magnitude 7.6 occurred in the south-east coast of El Salvador on January 13, 2001, causing widespread damage to buildings and several kinds of civil engineering structures due to ground shaking and earthquake-induced ground failures, including several large-scale landslides. This paper discusses the results of the damage investigation conducted in the area after the earthquake, with emphasis on the general features of the earthquake and its effects on the ground damage, specifically the landsliding which occurred in natural slopes and the liquefaction of soil deposits. The occurrence of liquefaction in the alluvial plain exhibited several characteristics in common with those observed in other areas of similar condition. On the other hand, the main cause of slope failures in volcanic deposits was not clearly identified, and several possible sources of slope instability were pointed out.
