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.

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 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 ...

Caption Soil liquefaction is a ground response during earthquakes in which the ground turns from solid into a fluid medium similar to quicksand and detrimental to structures. The 2010 Canterbury ...

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.

THE liquefaction of air ... as shown in the accompanying diagram (Fig. 1), which displays a vertical section of the apparatus. The gas, say oxygen, enters the outer coil under a pressure of ...
