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 ...

During strong earthquakes, when the ground is loose and saturated, the ground can become fluid. This process is known as liquefaction, and while it may seem like a perhaps unnerving curiosity in the ...

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 ...

In earthquake-prone areas like Japan, there is a need for better prediction of soil stability to mitigate liquefaction risks. Towards this end, researchers have used machine learning models, including ...

image: Soil liquefaction is a ground response during earthquakes in which the ground turns from solid into a fluid medium similar to quicksand and detrimental to structures. The 2010 Canterbury ...

Pile group interaction during lateral loading reduces lateral resistance. Based on full-scale lateral pile group testing, the reduction is a function of pile spacing, row position and soil type.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cheniere Energy, Inc. (“Cheniere” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LNG) today announced it has set a voluntary, measurement-informed Scope 1 annual methane intensity target for its ...
