Soil liquefaction, a destructive phenomenon occurring during earthquakes, has traditionally been associated with undrained conditions near the earthquake epicenter. However, new research conducted by ...

Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction, often described as the phenomena of seismic generation of excess porewater pressures and consequent softening of granular soils, is a leading cause of earthquake ...

During an earthquake, soil can weaken through subsidence and liquefaction. These processes can cause buildings to collapse as the soil becomes unable to support their weight. Researchers have now ...

Professor Cubrinovski was five years old when a massive tremor hit his home city Skopje, in Macedonia, in 1963, causing over ...

Soil liquefaction that results in infrastructure damage has long been a point of contention for urban planners and engineers. Accurately predicting the soil liquefaction risk of a region could help ...

This research experimentally investigates how rainfall infiltration and earthquake shaking interact to trigger liquefaction and permanent ground deformation in slopes composed of granular soils. While ...

Additional material and pictures provided by Ellington Cross LLC. In the past, the conventional method for handling loose sands, soft clays and poorly compacted fills on a construction project was to ...

In a new study, the conventional understanding of soil liquefaction is being challenged, significantly reshaping our comprehension of earthquake-related soil deformation. Traditionally, soil ...

This image shows a sample comparison between the risk map generated by the researchers using AI and the officially published risk map by the Yokohama authorities. The generated risk map incorporates ...
