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 ...

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 ...

When the ground beneath your feet suddenly behaves like quicksand during an earthquake, buildings can sink, tilt, or topple even if the shaking is not extreme. This terrifying phenomenon, known as ...
