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 ...

This chapter describes, in general terms for the less technical of this report’s readers, the basic behavior of liquefiable soils under cyclic loading, including the effects of material type, load ...

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 ...

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 ...
