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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Earthquakes are a wake-up call that natural hazards can rapidly transform into human-induced catastrophes when urban planning ...
