Having these in mind, ask them to think about where they are most likely to see liquefaction induced by an earthquake. Areas of land near rivers or close to sea level may be prone to liquefaction ...

A dataset that provides key input for assessing earthquake-induced liquefaction triggering won a 2024 DesignSafe Dataset award, which recognized the dataset's diverse contributions to natural ...

Liquefied soil caused numerous buildings to collapse in the Indonesian city of Palu after Friday’s magnitude 7.5 earthquake, which has killed more than 1,200 people. Here’s a brief ...

The January 1 Noto Peninsula Earthquake caused widespread liquefaction. Houses and roads sustained damage when loosely packed, waterlogged sediments at or near the ground surface lost their strength.

Buildings can be damaged by the shaking itself or by the ground beneath them settling to a different level than it was before the earthquake (subsidence). Buildings can even sink into the ground if ...

Liquefaction phenomena have been confirmed in the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. An on-site survey found that Uchinada Town in Ishikawa Prefecture suffered large-scale damage, including ground ...

Numerous constitutive laws have been proposed for the numerical analysis of dynamic induced liquefaction of soil ... there would be only a few cases of liquefaction recorded during actual earthquakes.

The ultimate pursuit is the prediction of occurrence of an earthquake thus giving us precious minutes to save lives. An earthquake generates a 3-dimensional shock wave. Forces are generated ...

probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PHSA), soil liquefaction, and seismically induced displacements. The emphasis will be on geotechnical issues, but some time will be devoted to structural ...

Building off that past work, Citadel researcher Simon Ghanat projected how extensive liquefaction could get in Charleston during an earthquake. Already, the peninsula's existing conditions would ...
