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.

But large buildings could also slide and settle in liquefaction, according to Tobin. In Japan, engineering experiments show structures sinking in soil liquefied from a vigorous shake in the same ...

The proposed procedure is applied to assess the soil liquefaction potential, which is found to be considerably affected by the inherent spatial variability of soil properties. Parametric studies, ...

Numerous constitutive laws have been proposed for the numerical analysis of dynamic induced liquefaction of soil materials. In order to be useful to the engineering practice, a numerical technique ...

As ocean waves interact with the seabed, they can induce changes in pore pressure and effective stress within the soil, potentially leading to liquefaction—a condition where saturated soil loses ...

One of its characteristics is it takes time to recover (from liquefaction damage),” Yoshiharu Yokoyama, an executive at Jibannet, which provides soil analysis services. Conditions that could ...

His main areas of research are shake table tests on deep and shallow foundations; liquefaction and laterally spreading grounds; mitigation measures for foundations in liquefiable soils; nonlinear site ...

mine tailings and soil liquefaction effects. Pretell, R., Brandenberg, S.J., and Stewart, J.P. (2024). “Consistent framework for PGA estimation at liquefaction case history sites: Application to the ...
