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 ...

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

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 ...

Some earthquakes can cause the ground to behave like a thick liquid. Soil liquefaction is a leading cause of earthquake damage worldwide. Have you ever wiggled your feet in wet sand at the beach? As ...

Rivers of soil swept away entire neighborhoods in Indonesia following a powerful earthquake last week that also generated a tsunami in a disaster that has killed at least 1,407 people. Experts say the ...

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