Abstract The liquefaction resistance of saturated, sandy foundations can be improved by reducing the saturation. The well-point dewatering method was used to lower the saturation of the subsoil using vertical, horizontal, inclined and combined drainage pipes arrangements. The horizontal arrangement gave the best liquefaction resistance with the lowest induced excess pore pressure during the shaking. In engineering practice, the dewatering method can be used at regular intervals to reduce the liquefaction possibility.
