Abstract: A complete revision of the characteristics and devastating effects caused by the earthquake and later tsunami in February 2010 that affected a large region of Chile. The text included the participation of more than 30 researchers (seismologists, geologists, geotechnical and structural engineers) from Beauchef who analyzed the seismological, geological, geotechnical and structural aspects of the Maule Megathrust Earthquake. The 27F high-magnitude earthquake produced a liquefaction phenomena in 120 sites extending almost 800 kilometers and producing severe damage to river basins, lakes, roads, architectonic and civil infrastructure, bridges, undergrounds, ports, buried structures, etc. and created cosismic variations of displacements in costal zones that were either elevated or descended in relation to sea levels. The later tsunami had 7 or 8 ingressions.
