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.

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 ...

Damage from soil liquefaction was particularly serious ... as it requires agreements among residents and consideration of construction methods,” he said.

Traditional construction grouting — injecting stabilizing materials into soil — has long been necessary ... showed that the new grout increases liquefaction resistance by 50% compared to ...
