This　paper　presents　a　simple　but　workable　modeling　method　to　simulate　the　wave-induced　liquefaction　scenarios　around　a　marine　pipeline　within　the　framework　of　the　Biot＇s　theory,　incorporating　the　main　features　such　as　relation　for　the　consolidation　describing　the　pore-volume　reduction,　hysteretic　stress-strain　behavior　of　soil　skeleton　and　soil-pipe　contact　effect.　In　this　context,　special　attention　is　paid　to　the　implementation　of　a　well　calibrated　cyclic　soil　model　for　hysteretic　and　nonlinear　stress-strain　behavior　(i.e.　strain　softening　and　cyclic　degradation),　associated　with　a　semi-empirical　shear-volume　coupling　equation　for　capturing　the　accumulative　volumetric　change,　which　links　the　increment　of　volumetric　strain　per　cycle　of　wave　with　the　shear　strain　occurring　during　that　particular　cycle.　The　proposed　modeling　framework　is　then　incorporated　into　an　explicit　time　matching　finite　difference　analysis　procedure,　allowing　a　full　non-linear　dynamic　analysis　of　the　intensive　interactions　between　the　pipeline　and　the　seabed　undergoing　buildup　of　pore　pressure　and　residual　liquefaction.　Retrospective　simulation　of　the　wave　flume　test　performed　by　Sumer　et　al.　(2006c)　using　the　proposed　model　shows　good　agreement,　calibrating　the　reliability　of　the　modeling　method　for　the　prediction　of　wave-induced　liquefaction　of　sandy　seabed　and　failure　process　of　the　buried　pipelines.　Finally,　the　liquefaction　mechanism　around　a　buried　pipeline　under　a　nonlinear　wave　loading　is　investigated　by　numerical　examples.　The　obtained　results　interpret　the　cause　of　liquefaction　and　the　resulting　consequence　for　pipeline　stability　in　wave　environment.
