A phenomenon called liquefaction, which causes the ground to slump like quicksand, led to significant damage after the Myanmar earthquake. The risk of aftershock remains high.

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. Liquefaction can cause major damage during an earthquake.

THE liquefaction of air, and the rest of the so-called permanent gases, is an achievement which belongs to quite recent times. Faraday cooled and compressed gases by such means as were at his ...

It can increase liquefaction resistance by 50% compared to existing materials. Researchers discover remarkable substance that ...

Conditions that could lead to liquefaction can be found in many places in Indonesia and throughout Asia, said Mark Quigley, Associate Professor of Earthquake Science at the University of Melbourne ...

A recent study published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts examines the hydrothermal liquefaction of sewage sludge, highlighting its potential for converting waste into renewable biofuels ...

Liquefaction only needs a few seconds to develop, but its effects are long-lasting. Sandy soils, silt, and gravel get separated with groundwater from a large earthquake, resulting in large ground ...

The magnitude 7.7 earthquake was powerful, shallow and in a heavily populated region with vulnerable buildings.

Notably, this temperature exceeds the liquefaction point of natural gas ... The research conducted by Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST), Korea, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin ...

The Middle East is poised to contribute substantial additions to global liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction capacity, projected to account for more than 10% of the worldwide increase by 2030.
