This research experimentally investigates how rainfall infiltration and earthquake shaking interact to trigger liquefaction and permanent ground deformation in slopes composed of granular soils. While ...

Soil liquefaction, a destructive phenomenon occurring during earthquakes, has traditionally been associated with undrained conditions near the earthquake epicenter. However, new research conducted by ...

LANSING, MI — A sudden loss of soil strength under saturated conditions likely caused the catastrophic failure of the Edenville Dam near Midland last spring, according to an investigation report ...

Liquefaction caused major destruction in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2011, turning parts of the city to mush. It also resulted in a massive "bulge" along the playing surface of the city's rugby ...

Only the specific adjustment factors used for development of a particular liquefaction triggering relationship are suitable for use with that relationship. Extrapolations of liquefaction triggering ...
