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 ...

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

Researchers explored the potential of stress-controlled and strain-controlled cyclic triaxial testing for liquefaction resistance evaluation of chemically treated soils Soil liquefaction can be a ...

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 ...

There’s a small silver tent in an engineering lab at Portland State University — the heavy-duty type that you can walk into. “This is what I call the magic tent, where all the chemistry and all the ...
